The story of humanity is a harrowing tale of survival and progress against all odds. It is also one of beauty, kindness, and creativity. It’s a remarkable thing to be human. To push beyond the bounds of reality and to be crazy enough to think you can change it. But that is the very nature of our being. Despite the many challenges we’ve faced throughout history, our use of science, technology, and innovative thinking has gotten us through it. At this very moment humanity is facing another monumental turning point. We are destroying our plant. The systems that run our economy are crumbling under the weight of their own success. We are more connected than ever but somehow lonelier than ever. It can be hard living with the knowledge that all of this is happening. Never at any point in history have we been so aware of everything going on around us. But when all hope seems lost that is when humanity shines brightest. Together we can be a beacon of light.
