futurewilderness: mamitah: futurewilderness: great post and very true have we become more realistic, or more pessimistic..or both? I’d say both. I think the concept of a better, cleaner, brighter future is slowly diminishing as people witness the trajectory of industrial civilization and where that is taking the planet. I usually find pessimistic people are more realistic :P
