We just like stuff

Long term solutions require an ability to think and actually project long term.
Something has happened with our evolution of mind and while we aren't fully in control, we are partially to blame.
Awareness is huge as a human being, and we have allowed our abilities to simply be aware to siphon away with our steady consumption of tools and apps and tricks for being satiated in the near-term. (If you want a metaphor, go to the eye doctor. I assure you can't see as far with an eye-diet of screens and shortsighted activities.)
Now things are at a tipping point and while gadgets and tech and tools are handy, they don't quite have the capabilities or potential to satisfy the globe on a natural or biological level. And this is where it gets tricky.
We make decisions and we accept and then we like to go back to out normal ways of being, or the spaces/places in which we've learned to be comfortable.
But there's nothing comfortable about the health of the planet, and while it is seemingly in an exhausted state - it is going to be up to those who populate it to make the challenging decisions necessary to put a frightening trend in reversal.

Facebook has changed the way we think. And by that, I mean changed the ways our brains process and look at the construct of time and being satisfied in the immediate & present tense. The issue in part with simply pointing, clicking, and liking is that often it seems to me we don't take the time necessary to think critically about how come we like something so much (or so little ha) and this has altered our neurological makeup, which alters how we have a tendency to behave. Simpler put, the neurons in your head are forming different and stronger connection between cells.
And the thing is, when we take the time to understand or comprehend how come we like or enjoy something, we in turn get to better understand ourselves and how we would like to grow, and this leads to more formal and productive actions.
I guess it all comes back to math.
Anyways. Do some research. Dig a bit. Save a library near you that is close to shuttering because of infrequent visitors in the digital age.
There is so much good and meaningful stuff to consume out there.
Choose wisely.
