DOTE Is Dying

The title of this post is all I have to say right now about that subject, other than to say that...

this blog, traffic-wise, fundraiser-wise, will never be what it was even a year ago.

What would you do in my position?

Would you keep publishing? Or would you stop?

Let me tell you something.

When DOTE disappears, nothing will replace it—ever.

People who think they know something believe that—

• anthropogenic climate change is the problem
• or, peak oil is the problem
• or degradation of marine ecosystems is the problem,
• or ... something else

Of course, none of these necessary consequences of Human Nature (behavior) are the real problem...

Homo sapiens itself is the real problem here.

That's what this blog is all about, and always has been.

That's why DOTE will never be replaced, or duplicated, or anything else, should I quit writing it.

Honestly? DOTE would not be missed.

It's a human-made world after all is said and done.

It's sad, that human-made world, it's often humorous, and it's certainly tragic.

But that human-made world, that's the problem.

Well, that's really depressing Dave. I will make a contribution since I have been reading for a while and haven't contributed yet.
