An allegory not far from this hippocampus during this period of accelerating devolution on all Scales:

[in descending order]

'Capacities' to combine logic + Sweet-Reason towards sane analysis /thence: Action.
Capabilities to argue from facts + interpretations towards some ..plausible resolution
Willingness actually to think on these
Experience, historical knowledge to attempt to Scale such musings, postulates er, Ideas
Experience of ..anything beyond the jejune infotainment, now a bottomless ocean of Distractions 24/7
.
The WIll to employ above--at whatever one's overall Soucience--to some Purpose
.
.
The capability of Thinking rigorously, At All?

Methinks that it's a long slog from the er 'Base' level above ..before there can be anything resembling the Steps-above. Is it possible even, to imagine.. any confluence of world-wide Tribes of the planetary population? as might: actually effect a Sane Rsponse to planetary matters from such a vox populi now facing:
Massive Alteration of all aims, $$$-matters, 'jobs'+housing + food distribution:

That is, an at-least Plurality sufficient to dealing with the SCALE of priorities uttery-Necessary even to 'keep the suffering just-bearable as' ...
Tipping Points of inevitable-kind loom. while most humans are hardly a "one small step for a Mensch"-away from The Caves?
[Rhetorical Question, alas]

Perhaps Piet Hein's Grook-with-sketch ..says it better than presumptuous profundity of mouth-noises:

If the Universe didn't exist
It wouldn't be missed




Carrion; we're a Dwarf- Drumpf-tossing away from -
While: NOBODY--ere recent years--ever even i m a g i n e d that, ..because-we-Could: We Would Destroy Our Nest ... fecklessly.
