Can’t wait to hear how our society is judged in a few centuries.

  1. Probably revolted at human overpopulation, the biggest and root cause of, amongst other things:

  2. factory farming and industrial fishing, which slowly tortures to death 2-6 trillion fish every year, and enslaves 2-4 trillion animals (mostly fish and chickens) in torturous conditions every year;

  3. mass-extinction causing anthropogenic climate-change;
