[ExI] as the world burns

[Darin Sunley]

You know, once you get outside of California, it no longer actually feels
like the earth is desperately trying to purge itself of the metaphorical
cancer that is humanity.

The whole planet isn't like this. It's really just California, and parts of
Oregon. And large US cities with a certain style of leadership.

But other than that, things are really quite nice, for the vast majority of
people, the vast majority of the time.

It's too easy to forget this.
