@ewen Yes, this exactly. We are winners of a galactic lottery to be part of a civilization of smart animals on a spectacularly alive planet. There may be nothing remotely like Earth, and nothing like humans, anywhere in the galaxy at the moment.
Yet, so many of us are lost in our daily affairs burning it all down.
Somehow we need to translate our individual wonder for the world into thinking at much longer and larger scales and caring a whole lot more.
That we're not is heart breaking.
