    Yup, this idea always rings in my head. Why do humans do shit like this to each other knowing full well they’ll eventually die and be nothing?

      Perhaps because they think that they will die and be nothing and therefore they’re right to accumulate as much as possible in this life, nevermind the cost to the environment and to humanity.

      It seems to me that YOLO is a fearful mode of being, and as we know people do terrible things when they’re afraid.
