Roy Scranton: We Broke the World


presentism: “a strong belief that the future will be much like the present and a tendency to forget how different the past was”

presence-ism: “a belief that whatever exists is and was and will keep on being”

“presence-ism and presentism obscure from us the horrifying truth that mass extinction is happening all around us and has been happening all around us: our world is a graveyard, and we Homo sapiens are the blight that has made it so”
