Conscious Apes
We are all Conscious Apes and many of us have become distracted and shallow.
Our grotesque overindulgence exploits billions of lives and has started a Sixth Mass Extinction.
It's time for the Balance to be restored and for us to reconnect with Nature.
Our primal and instinctive “Reptilian Brain” tells us to Overconsume and Overpopulate. For millions of years our ancestors survived and needed to be opportunistic because resources were scarce. We needed to exploit the good times to endure the bad. Today, these two things are the root cause of the majority of the problems that we face as a species.
These hard-wired desires have been capitalised on by a male-dominated world. It has become solely about money and power.
As Conscious Apes, Natural Selection has enabled the rational “New Brain” to evolve. We have developed consciousness- in other words thinking and awareness.
We need to use the newer, rational part of our brain. We need to spread awareness and educate about Overconsumption and Overpopulation. Then we can start to rebuild the Balance of Nature.
