Quotes

  • Bonzo Poehas quotedlast month
    Short-term thinking is the root of most of our problems, from pollution to debt, both personal and global.
    Easter Island used to be filled with trees, but early settlers cut them down, and they never grew back.
    Greenland used to have grass, but early settlers let their sheep graze, and it never grew back.
    A few short-term decisions can lead to centuries of destruction.

    We treat the future like a garbage dump.
    We dump our debts, pollution, junk, and responsibilities on the future, as if it’s a problem solved.

    Plan your death.
    Write your will now.
    Make sure your heirs know where everything is, and who to contact.
  • Bonzo Poehas quotedlast month
    Thinking of the future doesn’t come naturally.
    Our hunter-gatherer ancestors had to live moment-to-moment, so our tendency to focus on today is built into our biology.
    But times have changed.
    Now the surviving fittest are the ones who plan ahead.
