As a global society we are confronted with the threat posed by nuclear armament; the fact of endless wars; poverty, starvation and over-population in various parts of the world; the suffering of animals in the contemporary means of meat production; an escalating superficiality that inflames consumerism and inspires an increasingly materialistic mindset; the theatricality of politics; the morbid state of mainstream media; cataclysmic deforestation; colossal extinction; negligent pollution of the land, sea and sky; the transition of wealth from the docile many to the rapacious few; incessant corruption in almost every organisation and, if one is sensitive enough to see it, the serious matter of the mental degeneration of man hidden under the bonnet of psychiatric and neurological advance.

All of these catastrophes are the result of a combination of human action and inaction.

This is society.
