Thinking about the loss of my old housemate #RebeccaHeineman today, as I munch on a beef and cheese sandwich (not really a proper cheeseburger, though). I don't know that she was involved in any way in the remaster, but I think she was involved in the original? I never actually played it, though.
Now I want to start a band called "Servants of the Mushroom Cloud". Seems fitting for our times. #GenX #apocalypse #Wasteland

Sullivan was expecting a clear, cold river artery with blue-green pools, and had even brought his fishing rod. So he was shocked to see turbid water and banks stained a fluorescent orange. “It looked like sewage,” he recalls. As the research team finished their sampling and paddled downstream in pack rafts, the cloudy, tangerine water persisted. Along the river, they floated past several emaciated bears. At one quiet eddy, a particularly thin bear crept near, its dark eyes fixed on them in a way that made Sullivan uneasy. He wondered if the river’s degraded state was suppressing the fish populations, potentially reducing bears’ food sources. “I started to feel like what we were seeing was an example of ecosystem collapse,” he says.
On a later trip, Sullivan took water samples and found strangely high concentrations of iron and heavy metals like cadmium, aluminum, and in some cases, zinc. By then, Sullivan realized the problem extended far beyond the Salmon: Bush pilots reported the same rusty color in dozens of rivers across the region, spanning an area roughly the size of Nebraska. Researchers around the world have begun to document similar changes in waterways near permafrost.

So do we have a way out? We come across many misguided ideologies and few seem to be grounded in the original human lifestyle. There doesn't seem to be a way out. The vicious circle has begun and it runs in full throttle. A major setback of civilization is inevitable. When and how it will happen? Will it also bring the extinction of humans? If we don't get extinct, how long can we thrive until another major setback? Will humans be domesticated genetically by humans through selective breeding or other genetic manipulation methods? In which direction can the situation evolve after that? Those are questions nobody can answer.

We are currently in the last phases of a mass extinction event called "Anthropocene Extinction". It is comparable to previous big five extinction events. This time it is caused by human overpopulation and overconsumption of resources. We have the example of Trilobites that existed for 270 million years in the oceans, evolving themselves gradually around the same genetic base, without ever developing any cognitive abilities or symbolic behavior comparable to ours. They never built a civilization nor did they cause a global mass extinction. The closest biological term that would best describe our situation is maybe "autogenic extinction event", the global version of it. The term refers to a situation where the evolutionary adaptation of a species is beneficial for it in the short term, but leads to its decline and its own extinction in the long term. In our case, human symbolic behavior was the wrong turn and the dead end in our evolution.
