    Except now the level of wealth, influence, and power of a few has reached new levels accelerating the erosion of our planet in a fraction of the time.

      Same as it ever was. Today’s incomprehensible horrors will seem quaint and simple 100 years in the future.

          No, I don’t think I’m being profound by saying an extremely common phrase akin to “the more things change, the more things stay the same.” I just don’t think today is all that different from the past, even with trillionaires.
