So, here we are.
I may be wrong here, but it strikes me that humanity itself is standing, staring into the Abyss. And one of its mates- the one who eggs you onto do something a bit daft (yeah, we all have them!) Is saying, 'Go on, jump, you coward!'.
Squillions unemployed, gazillions in debt, and we are racing towards Climate meltdown, Peak-just-about-everything, mass starvation and societal collapse.
I know- lets watch, 'I'm a cock-get me out of here!'.
Yes, we have bought it on ourselves. 95% of us bought into it all. More, bigger, better, faster, more famous. And its all shite. You must have known.
Personally its been a great year. I got my dream job, teaching what I love doing. I have my own company, doing what I love doing and have started a new organisation that is capable of changing the world, if only someone will let us try. Happy Birthday Kindle- nominally one year old tomorrow and making its Ecobuild debut. All of which is probably why I cant sleep.
Come on Gordon- move over. You didnt honestly think that, after waiting so long, it was going to be anything other than a disaster. Come to that, move over all of you. They times they really HAVE to be a-changin'. We have no choice but to run things for people and not profit. And that means ALL people, so Sod Off Daily Mail!
The stocks markets and banks are collapsing. Well, why not- its partly their fault (and partly ours for buying loads of stuff). Maybe from the rubble something beautiful can grow, like banks owned by the people that use them and that look out for those people. Like companies that are only worth what they do, not what someone in a rich man's betting shop decides they are worth in terms of mergers and asset-stripping. Like a system based on fairness, where enough truly is enough and we finally prove to be good stewards of Mother Earth.
Yep, its a beautiful world. Well, it was!
Lets take it back from the insanity it has become and give it, and us, a future
