Please don't project your own personal thoughts and opinions on to the entire human population. It's possible that some, even many people do not think this way. I would claim to be one, although of course I can offer no evidence other than my word.
> I would say 90% of our environmental problems stem from this one fact. I mean we all drive cars and are unwilling to make the necessary sacrifice to stop.
Again, that seems like a projection of yourself on to the whole population. This ones easier to refute though, since it's an objective fact that I don't drive a car (and haven't even bothered learning). Concern for the environment is certainly a large part of the reason.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoSometimes humans talk in terms of self evident generalities derived from common sense instead of solely relying on scientifically verified facts. This is actually a very typical scenario when you communicate with other humans.
- bjl 9y agoExcept your generality is not at all self-evident.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoI agree, it is not at all self evident to anyone who isn't human or doesn't have normal human communication skills.
