We're Living in the Most Dangerous Moment in Human History
What happens when the systems we've built to protect us become the very things that threaten our survival? Right now, we're living through a paradox: humanity has achieved unprecedented prosperity, yet we're closer to collapse than ever before. The roofing materials over your head tell a story more complex than you might imagine. From the oil wells that produce asphalt to the factories that shape shingles to the trucks that deliver them-each component represents centuries of accumulated knowledge, intricate supply chains, and coordinated human effort. This web of connection extends to everything: your morning coffee, your smartphone, the music streaming through your earbuds. We've created something magnificent-a civilization so deep and interconnected it borders on miraculous. But here's the uncomfortable truth: this extraordinary achievement is beginning to crumble, and the decisions that will determine whether it survives are being made by a handful of people who have little incentive to save it. Climate change isn't a distant threat anymore-it's the reality outside your window, and the window of opportunity to prevent catastrophe is rapidly closing.
