I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

        Yup, I also do the opposite of forest bathing, I also have a morbid curiosity which is visiting clearcuts. Most people have seen a clearcut on TV but to see one from the ground will leave you speechless. It’s a total disregard for all life on earth. Entire forests gone in the span of an afternoon. There’s no sound, no birds or anything. Scorching hot because there’s no moisture or shade. Hundreds of years ago, it might take a team of men all day to fall a single old growth cedar. Now there are air conditioned machines that can do it in a fraction of the time. Every time I visit the north island and I see a semi truck loaded with a single thousand year old tree I basically just cry.

        Look at BC on satellite view, it’s an absolute disaster. I am one of those people who defends old growth with their life, I was recently at the fairy creek blockades

        Though its not for investment… Its to necessitate human life. Where do you think Europe gets its wood? UK’s entire power grid is powered by BC woodchips. The entire pnw but most notably BC is just the world’s tree farm and, call me an eco fascist if you want, but there are too many people on earth plain and simple. Overpopulation isn’t a conspiracy. Come see the tree farm for yourself, it’s apocalyptic.
