To start out on a relatively safe note, I don't give a fuck about organized sports - never have, never will.

But on a more contentious note, I also no longer give a fuck about trying to fix climate change.

I gave many, many fucks about that up until COP15 blew its brains out in Copenhagen at the end of 2009. At that point I realized that we (the global, collective-humanity "we" ) weren't going to fix it, and had no intention of even trying.

I started looking for the reasons why. Over the last 5 years I've discovered that we (the species) can't fix it, because that would involve violating the principles of life (how organisms function with regard to energy), our evolved neuropsychology that arose from our nature as living beings, the way individual behaviours and collective cultures are shaped by their environments, and may possibly even run counter to the operation of non-equilibrium thermodynamics in complex adaptive systems.

So I've given up giving a fuck about fixing it. Instead I've accepted that we will simply keep on doing what humans do, trying to give our kids a better life at the expense of the rest of the biosphere, until the situation "resolves itself" naturally - like it does with all other non-human species.

It ain't the oligarchs that are the problem - it's human beings in general. That means you and me.

Most people on an activist board like this will disagree, and quite a few will be outraged by my attitude. That's fine, I understand why that is. It's a big world, with room enough for all sorts of opinions.
