pope francis was among the predestined elect. he may have been a catholic heretic but it has been revealed to me through prayer that this was the case. the lord’s will is mysterious and beyond human understanding, and it was his will that a catholic be among the exalted. all the glory to god for ever. amen.

Should consumerism be the last thing we accomplish as a species, after all this evolution and the miraculous series of accidents that granted our sentience? Would that not be an utterly dull and inane end to our history?

If we were all minimalists instead of conspicuous consumers, there would be less demand on the world’s resources and we’d have a smaller, less berserk economy. We’d be less likely to harm the only planet we’ll ever have, and the super-rich would have fewer ways to exploit us.
