A hypothetical posed about some distant future

Inconvenient Sequel, 2017

„The next generation, looking back at us“.

The framing is consistently that of „citizens in a democracy“ asked to take joint responsibility to prevent hypothetical (though likely) catastrophe occuring in some distant future.

What was I thinking in 2017? I was thinking Rex Tillerson and I likely had different abilities to impact actions taken by ExxonMobil. At a Dianne Feinstein town hall I was thinking the Indivisible audience of outraged voters was quite divisible, as evidenced by my personal experience querying a few fellow audience members on the advisability of continuing to vote for Democratic Party incumbents. I was thinking Feinstein was visibly suffering from dementia and should not continue serving as a US senator. I was thinking I would be glad to be leaving San Francisco’s world of delusion.
