Acharya Prashant discusses the concept of epiphany as a sudden realization of truth, emphasizing that one must first be grounded in obvious facts before seeking such moments. He highlights the severe disconnect between human perception and the reality of global catastrophes, specifically focusing on the climate crisis. He points out that carbon dioxide emissions have increased by 50% since pre-industrial levels, leading to a greenhouse effect that is accelerating global temperature rise. This neglect of facts is leading toward a sixth mass extinction, where human stupidity is obliterating millions of species. He criticizes the lack of national discourse on these impending disasters, noting that media coverage of climate change is negligible compared to trivial news.
