alexa toque holocene do bon iver
Modern humans predated the Holocene optimum. But the latter permitted stable civilizations to emerge (repeatedly), to grow, & to develop bodies of knowledge & technologies.
I find it interesting to start with the Holocene. This present human "condition" of civilization, and this unique extended period of relative climate stability it occurred during, do seem very tightly bound.

So this is what happens when you die. You keep living. On and on, things become more fantastical till one day the world is ending and the blissful Holocene Eden is hell on earth, hot as balls, fires, floods, mega-storms, pollution, sinkholes, Trump Supporters, immanent nuclear war, dems being GOPs..

I grew up in the holocene, I've seen the kind of climate that kids are being robbed of.
There is no way back to some imagined golden age; the age we grew up in (Holocene) is dead. Stop moaning about what was & concentrate on protecting & nurturing what is left. Earth has survived worse than this. The distant future is bright; make sure the human race is part of it ;-)
