Yup. I'm looking this via the lens of moral development where: Pre-conventional level is the narcissist me-me-me level, that seems to dominate the geopolitics and tech. Conventional is most of us as the sheep. This level follows the lo

The moral comes from the grassroots as power corrupts. As long as we wait for a godlike leader for rescue the end result is same as with Stalin, Hitler, Trump, Thiel, Epstein, Musk, ... The godlikeness can come though in many forms, politic

Too big to care, just like Sarah stated in the book. Meta and the likes don't need to care anymore.

I see that the more egalitarian world is a must for us NOT going extinct. And we're in the last minute to do that, if it's not too late already. World seems to be headed to a short dystopian fascist phase before the collapse. A me

Net zero will come. Whether by collapse or by us shaving the wasteful excess. Excess being the leeches who don't pay taxes or follow rules.

We'd be well net neutral and way positive on the just/unjust scale with just two fucking changes. Get rid of the millionaires excessive destructive power (both structural/political and the personal excessive consumption) and

Simple, yet almost impossible. We're living in a fake world alright. Either the lie is powered by fear that leads to hate. Or false hope. The truth is the simple cure but we've normalized the lie well enough that it's practic

If I recall correctly Roblox and some others had already made suggestions that the parents are responsible. Which is not fair IMO as the power asymmetry is immense.

I'm afraid that in the current technofeodalism this is going to be a similar, decades lasting, battle as we've had with tobacco, oil, farma, PFAS industries. Hoping to be wrong naturally.

Alcohol and tobacco are worst ones as in addition to harms they're also available practically everywhere and the harms are huge. Weed is harmful as well, but it might not be quite as obviously harmful as ethanol. I have considered and

I had to come and check whether this was posted here and whether it gained any traction. Sad and terrifying, how this isn't on the top. Zero comments.

The books I've read have a say in this. Rutger Bregman concluded in his Humankind - a Hopeful History that deep down human is pretty decent. So I'm thinking the turnout would be rather similar in different communities. I was kinda

I'm thinking about substance use in general that it might even have some benefits but with each repetition the problem use threshold is getting closer. And we have no way of knowing where the threshold is for each of us. It might be te

Oxfam Extreme Carbon Inequality had something like 16 ton average and 8 ton median for the US. Here in Finland it's around 7 and 11 but we're one of the most equal countries but still the difference is big. I'm too tired to l

Nice comparison. IMO average should be ditched and median used instead for personal emissions for a country. Even in reasonably low inequality OECD countries the difference between average and median is substantial as a low percentage of pe

Meat subsidies are one huge reason for keeping meat prices too low. At least here that's the case. These vegan meat alternatives are naturally more effort to make than the original veggies but still cheaper than meat. But the subsidies
