I’m laughing at memes about billionaires who can’t pull themselves up to the surface by their own bootstraps, but in reality I’m furious.

I’m furious I was accused of human smuggling by FRONTEX (European border agency) for being part of a sea rescue operation that saved 1000+ lives of refugees fleeing war & terrorism.

I’m furious at the money and international effort being spent to rescue these billionaires when operations like ours cost so little and save so many lives, but are punished.

So… what if, from now on, refugees and migrants say they’re looking for the Titanic – rather than for unexciting things like security and a better life?

Will governments boost their search-and-rescue operations then?

Do you know what’s more embarrassing than having ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ as a ringtone? Not putting your phone on silent at a funeral.

What in the fuck?!

At least, if they do it, we lock the cage and never unlock it again?

It’s not correct to say, as this author does, that all Abrahamic religions look to the afterlife exclusively, instead of life on earth. We do not reject embodiment. We don’t say to ourselves: go ahead, plunder resources, exploit the earth beyond its ability to heal. That’s not permitted.

Judaism has always focused on making the present, material life, sanctified. All of it.

In fact, eco-Judaism is original Judaism, not some modern afterthought tacked on by current sentiments. You cannot make your land into a wasteland & call yourself spiritually guided. It violates the very heart of our duties in this corporeal life.

Space is awesome, and I love it. But I have no illusions about a techo-miracle future. We’ve squandered our resources on disposable junk and poisonous convenience. Our future is here, whether we want it to be or not.

So let’s make it a place worth living in. Let’s sanctify our daily lives.
