  • Environmentally inclined people feel like they do something and don’t rally against the real problem.

    Actually we have already been lobbying and protesting and trying to change the system for decades.

    The work might not be visible, but it’s due to resource constraints, not because we are delusional and think that decreasing global CO2 emissions by 0.000000027% will fix the biodiversity loss.











  • History ended sometime around 1990. It was determined at that time that civilization could not substantially change any further, for better or worse

    Life did get substantially worse since 1990 though?

    Mass surveillance, rise of tech billionaire class, unprecedented political polarization, KYC-rollout in banks.

    Ecological crisis is accelerating with tens of thousands of dead in Europe due to recent heatwaves.

    edit: also Germany, Japan, Russia and China openly remilitarizing after 80 years of relative peace. This is really bad.

    62% home ownership in 1960’s for much smaller homes (on average 700 sqft) vs 65% now for an average of 2000sqft

    62% -> 65% sounds reasonable.

    700 sqft on average -> 2000 sqft on average is suspicious though. It’s possible stats got skewed by the top 1%, who are today richer than ever before, and own ridiculous amount of property. Median sqft perhaps would be more representative
