I might have to call my dad, Andrew.
I feel like we keep waiting - with Trump, with Brexit, with Russia, with global warming - for the adults to dig in and fix everything. What if there are no adults? What if we’re all just bluffing, aged children and there are no adults left?

“Perhaps we could stop mining fossil fuels?” “NO DADDY I WANT MORE COAL” “But coal’s bad for us.” “NO DADDY MORE COAL I WANT COAL I HATE YOU DADDY”

I don’t think there’s ever been any adults. The whole thing is a mess. Conspiracy theories are weirdly comforting- the idea that someone is in charge and has a plan, even if it’s evil.

I totally agree with this. The works is scary, random, vast. Conspiracy makes it seem smaller, calculated, contained. Safer.

Have you read The Guns of August? Or seen '37 Days' on the BBC? Events quickly overpowering individuals ability to stop the momentum that builds to WW1. Hard not to make comparisons...

I haven’t. Interesting.

It really, really feels like that. Everything that happens, I think "is THIS going to be enough this time?" but apparently, it never is, even when the very first thing was bad enough, it doesn't seem to warrant any kind of stepping in, just "discussion" or "investigation"

What if we're the adults?

Right?! Terrifying.

This has been my biggest realisation growing up. That adults do not inherently understand things, no matter how they act. Everyone is just scraping their way through life, acting like they did as kids, hoping not to be found out.
