LYRICS
\nAnoint
\nNo doubt succession
\nExploit
\nWithout repercussions
\nNever learn our lesson
\nNemesis is Hubris’
\nConsequences
\nHumaneless humans
\nHave no defenses
\nEnvironmental degradation
\nEye on mental
\nNo hesitation
\nEcosystem disruption
\nOn her and him…
\nTheir acquisition
\nIgnorant and arrogant
\nThey rant:
\nI want this
\nAnd I want that
\nDon’t give a piss
\nWhere you’re at
\nI need more
\nThan those before
\nWill not concede
\nMy need for greed
\nMe, my, mine
\nAll the time
\nHave no spine
\nHear me whine
\nIgnorant and arrogant
\nWe rant:
\nWe can’t<\/p>\n
We can’t rant<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG The song presents a powerful metaphor for the interplay between hubris and nemesis in the context of environmental degradation, acting as a commentary on human-induced climate change.<\/p>\n Hubris in Exploitation:<\/strong><\/p>\n Consequences and Defenselessness:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ecosystem Disruption and Acquisition:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ignorance and Arrogance:<\/strong><\/p>\n Refusal to Change:<\/strong><\/p>\n In summary, the song serves as a poignant metaphor for the destructive cycle of human hubris leading to environmental nemesis, urging listeners to reflect on the consequences of unsustainable practices and the urgent need for change.<\/p>\n Hubris and Nemesis<\/b> In this metaphorical interpretation, the cycle of hubris and nemesis mirrors the human impact on the environment. Hubris represents the anthropocentric belief that humans can exploit nature without repercussions, while nemesis embodies the natural consequences and environmental challenges that arise as a result of these actions. The metaphor serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of humility, sustainability, and recognizing the interconnectedness between human activities and the health of the planet.<\/p>\n LYRICS Anoint No doubt succession Exploit Without repercussions Never learn our lesson Nemesis is Hubris’ Consequences Humaneless humans Have no defenses Environmental degradation Eye on mental No hesitation Ecosystem disruption On her and him… Their acquisition Ignorant and arrogant They rant: I want this And I want that Don’t give a piss Where you’re at […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,9,14,3878,19,3810,25],"tags":[3937,163,3939,528,3938],"class_list":["post-32223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chords","category-daniel","category-lyrics","category-rawhide","category-sir-vent","category-speciman","category-the-end","tag-check-your-temperature","tag-climate-change","tag-gobsmackingly-bananas","tag-midi","tag-rawhide-ous"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32223"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32223\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32236,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32223\/revisions\/32236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nIn 2023, we wrote about having crossed tipping points<\/a> in the paper, “Climate Change: How Long Is ‘Ever’?<\/a>“. We had forecast crossing these tipping points would not happen for centuries. We underestimated Man’s ignorance and arrogance<\/b>. Fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have continued to set record highs. Humans have caused chain-reactions resulting in toppled tipping points, feedback loops<\/a>, and The Domino Effect<\/a>.
