Interesting thought:
I wonder if there is a connection between the use of anti depressant medication and the overt passivity with which we are responding to global climate change?
Currently about one sixth of the population of the USA is taking doctor prescribed psychoactive medication. That is about fifty million people. One main purpose of all these medications is to calm the patient, and prevent anxiety or worry. In addition, many other people regularly consume alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, sleeping pills, or even illegal drugs, on a regular basis.
Perhaps the use of all these mood altering and emotion suppressing drugs are preventing the majority of the population from appreciating, or understanding, the scale of the danger they face.
A tragically humorous thought.
