[Intro: Moby's speech]
In the beginning, we were a desperate species. We needed things, and if you had things you were happy, you were fed, you survived. The things saved us, things like food, weapons, shelter. But after eons of struggle, we won. The old deaths had left us alone.
Our ancestors died of rotten teeth and starvation and disease. Our ancestors pushed back and they won. But we kept going. We kept eating as if we were about to starve, we kept fighting even though the old enemies were gone. We kept destroying the environment even though we were only destroying ourselves. We built great cities, great industries, great systems. These systems were supposed to feed us but instead, they’ve killed the animals, the land and us. These systems were supposed to protect us but instead, they’ve poisoned our air and our water. These systems were supposed to serve us but instead they're killing us. We’re still acting as our ancestors acted. Grasping for food, destroying nature, killing animals, killing each other.
Maintaining systems that haven’t worked in a long time. These systems are killing us. These systems are killing everything. These systems are failing.
Let them fail.
