Yes, that does sound familiar. I think I repressed it because I got annoyed at the lack of context...unless you read the appendices, which most people have not, you wouldn't know the backstory of what they're saying.
I tend to go between the two because it's so depressing sometimes but I want to think things will get better when we have come so far socially and environmentally with improvements...they're just such small baby steps to what's really needed and then, as he said, we are going backwards in other aspects.
Still, I'm Christian so I figure if things get too bad, then God and Jesus will just be like...fuck this, let's do the apocalypse.
