That is what human beings appear to be today.
A race of teenagers running amok.
As everyone over the age of thirty already knows, teenagers have got a lot to learn about life. Obviously, they themselves are the only ones to not realize this.
Precisely the quality I find most prominent in our culture.
Which brings us to the real point.
Perhaps my observations apply more strictly to Americans; maybe there exists on this planet a culture—several cultures, most likely—which indeed have matured well past the freshly post-adolescent phase of their youth.

These are the people we must seek out, and learn from.
Because teenagers have destroyed my planet.
And I should know, because I was one myself.
I wanted to save the world. But I didn't. Oh well.
Then I grew up. Too late now—the teenagers would say.
Well not so fast. Now I'm a father. I will be raising a new teenager, see.
There is always hope for the human race. Oh yes, one more thing.
Given enough time, we will all grow up eventually.
Taken away—not a chance.
