Agreed, but I’m thinking we will continue to choose delusional sociopathy. It’s easier, and best matches the essentially selfish nature of Americans. The whole idea was to delay action so as to make action ever-more disruptive and expensive while the horror of the problem increased. The scarier the problem is, the more we’ll choose delusion; the more disruptive the solution becomes, the greater the sacrifice and the more our essential selfishness screams at us to embrace delusion. Yes, a choice.
Don’t Look Up was fucking great—please. Hilarious, moving. Just great.
But it had one flaw. Seeing the asteroid should have led to even more intense denial, not revelation. I don’t fault it much: it was meant as a recommendation. Meanwhile, we can’t even stop flying for fun. Apparently, we are more than willing to help murder our children so we can drink and shop in another time zone.
Thanks for that film and all the work you’ve done, by the way. You should feel proud! You fucking showed up.
