Living standards have improved, but at vast cost the environment, and we show no signs of addressing this.
The amount of energy we spend on irrelevant stuff like the stock market & AI should instead be directed toward dealing with climate change, and not turning our oceans into lifeless garbage dumps. But our economical model can only handle things that make more money for rich people, so we won't.
- robertlagrant 2y ago> irrelevant stuff like the stock market The stock market is a good idea. Without it you wouldn't have most things you think are a good idea, nor probably half the things you think are a scandal because not everyone has them. > But our economical model can only handle things that make more money for rich people, so we won't. No, it handles all sorts of things.
