@Daojoan The real elephant in the room is that we're in a global polycrisis for which we can learn nothing from history, not even from ancient tales that came out of prehistoric times, because the last time the Earth's biosphere and climate system were entering such a chaotic phase was many millions of years ago, and our closest ancestors were some rather primitive monkeys. And this ongoing fascist takeover of the West (it didn't begin in the US, and it won't stop there) is undermining our already far too meager abilities to do anything about it.
