And in the end it's adapted to you, and your tastes. one car, one man. Nothing changed except the 'fuel'.

And makes you think that 'something has been done' :)

That's funny.

Changing a infra structure isn't about the fuel. We could go down in pollution just using fossils if we wanted, changing the infra structures.

In the end it's about changing the way we play this game. That's where banning comes in, and a democracy. Changing laws and changing practices.Then invent.

The game doesn't want this. too high a cost, too low a yield.

No profits

You're living in la la land, and you want to stay there. You know about the game but the negative effects from it are still 'exported'.

So you don't mind.


why do I call you failed?

You're greedy, egoistical, ignorant and territorial. And you want to stay there. Education has little to do with three of them, but ignorance can be treated.

That, and using your mind. It won't take the rest away, but hopefully it can moderate it.

when you 'google' you have to be careful. Post and links are payed for, and then placed at the top. The algorithms for it may differ somewhat between different 'providers', but that is the truth behind that front page you will see after googling something. So you should never stop using your mind.

That's the whole point of a 'peer reviewed' study. That it is expected to clean the study from preconceptions, and missed evidence. It doesn't guarantee it though. It can become a bubble of logic in its recommendations if you can't look outside the game. And it's not easy to place yourself outside it.

Our chances out of this trap are low. It depends on you, and you don't want to change. It's even worse for those not having a 'representative democracy' in where you still can debate. Traditions, religions, values and beliefs. They are what defines you.

Us not changing will mean millions migrating, small arms wars, geopolitics becoming increasingly inflamed. It will mean your wallet shrinking, higher costs and a frenzied search for new 'geoengineerings'. Those that already exist, as global warming, is a result of us, and our game over some centuries. The ones we now 'search for' builds on the conveyor belt principle, and arrogance.

The game can't take you back. Changing it is the only road that will work.

If you wonder what I mean by putting yourself 'outside the game' means. Think of all those climate scientists and others, papers, television, radio, that argue that it will be 'cost effective' to do something about global warming. They're not outside the game at all,  instead they become defenders of it, with a slightly different view on what 'profit' means.

You won't get anywhere defining it that way, furthermore it gives a false impression of what nature is.

sustainability.

Now, if that doesn't suit, and it do lose something after a while, then this is set in a more traditional 'harem setting' ala Japanese. About genes and explosions. It's what one need those days, deep and serious, not. https://animekisa.tv/maburaho-episode-1
