Reading the Signs

Ours is a crisis of misreading the signs. As are the origins of all crises. Humans are the only species of being able to trick ourselves to such a collective, thorough degree that we are able to ignore all the signs, again and again. No other species would survive with the level of systematic ignorance that we have been able to strut. We have many techniques of upholding wrong readings of the signs, that become routinized to the point of genetics.
