I've been reading your posts for 20-some years now and I still struggle to understand what the hell you're talking about most of the time. But I always get the general idea and appreciate your knowledgeable insights. I even, many years ago, saw the wisdom in your position on nuclear power. If only...

While I will never have a full grasp of the technical material you present (and I like to think of myself as fairly intelligent), we do share the sad knowledge that it is our generation that screwed the future. To make matters worse, we somehow also made sure that succeeding generations are just as stupid if not even more stupid. To think that I hoped that the younger generation might save us from ourselves....

We are going to have front row seats to the greatest disaster movie of all time which we will get to watch in real time no less.

Your last line is particularly apt and poignant. If you don't mind, I might use it from time to time.

"May there again be a future where ignorance does not prevail."
