Hey Bird! I'm Morose & Lugubrious

Quote from the article:
Where's the problem here? Just build a few more aluminum factories bro. The soil won't mind. We have plenty of oil left, right? Just throw a few thousand tons of plastic garbage into the seas everyday bro. Where's the harm? Take another plastic bag willya. Just pump some more meds into this chicken bro he ain't fat enough. It's probably good for the kids anyway. Just pour some more HFCS syrup over my deep-fried avocado bacon abomination bro. Just pop a roofie and a xannie and some antidepressants and some opiates and forget about it all. Bro.
Anybody who wants to argue that things were better pre-enlightenment, ie under feudal monarchies, is just arguing to hear themselves argue. They can't really be taken seriously.
If you take humans as a measure, maybe. If you take literally any other lifeform on this planet.. No.
