> The only actual fix is to try to educate everyone about what's going on, and what we as a species are doing. Yes. But your fix and mine are different. You think that its the damage the environment that's the problem. I agree to some extent, but I think there is a more fundamental problem - that of people slavishly following what the government+corporations have to say. These 2 groups work together and they are helping each other - not the people or the environment. They are perfectly prepared to use whatever excuse - the environment, disease, etc as long as it advances their authority. Increasing compliance to authority is the goal - if you agree it is right to pay taxes, fines, etc under the guise of helping the environment you are weakening yourself and will also fail to achieve the goal you desire. 'The people' have Stockholm syndrome with regards to the governance structure. We think people from the government are here to help. They are not lying when they say that - but they are here to help themselves. At your expense! This was commonly understood - but it seems as the governance structure has increased its power, applied psychology to the masses (nudge units), altered educational systems, etc, etc, this has had the effect of training people to think that it is a neutral entity. People believe that we need to vote harder. It can never work. Nietzsche said it best: A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people."
