...Real human talent is destruction. Not creation, namely destruction, you heard right. We are arrogant, purposeful and, it must be admitted, we effectively destroy nature, the foundation, the base of our existence, bestowed upon us from above.
Who is guilty? - apparently aliens. We're aliens on Earth. Destroyed cities, deserted villages. Scorched and cut down forests. Shallow rivers and lakes. Foul, suffocating atmosphere. Millions killed, sought. Billions of uneducated, poor, hungry...
Our Lord has long given up on us.
Today, thousands of species of living nature are on the verge of extinction because of our hyperactive activity. Hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts and floods, melting glaciers in Antarctica, tsunami and God knows what else. We are changing the climate so much that there is simply no way back, but we continue. You have not realized that humanity has entered the last stage of extinction? Not? It's a pity...
Because ahead of us are waiting for new cataclysms, in comparison with which a collision with a meteorite, which will pierce through our mass through our planet, like a knife butter, a mere trifle. And what will happen when drugs and gambling completely force out virtual reality? Is this our future?
