Just because it is too late for modern societies to be maintained, does not mean it is too late for influencing the future. Just because it might be too late to significantly influence that future, does not mean it is too late to learn how to participate less in destructive or delusional behaviours.
Story of interdependence: We live in uncertain times. There is no route to a secure future. But your work is honorable if you are creating something, maintaining peoples’ well-being, or serving the nonhuman world.
