The most important thing people can do is calm down. Making things worse doesn't help anybody. Next they need to learn how see things with some clarity which will give them the ability to understand and react [eventually be proactive] with skillful and meaningful actions. People suffer from ignorance and a plethora of emotional dis-abilities.Papus79 wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2021, 7:30 pmYeah, that's really the sad thing about this.
I love watching 'Just Have A Think' on Youtube when he has his technology updates. Today he shared something I wasn't even aware of - that there's some hint that vertical farms might even be able to handle grain production profitably now - that was seen as a really far-future thing even just a few years ago! It's not just Pinker now, it's a lot of more cautious optimists really suggesting that we're positioned to pull right through this if we can keep crazy at bay for at least another decade or so. If I were a Bread-Tuber I couldn't be more excited or even considering the possibility that a Jacques Fresco Venus Project / RBE could be far less crazy of an idea within the next few decades than it ever was.
The trick is keeping the witch-hunters busy with as many stick-figures as possible, maybe piñatas full of candy, perhaps some of the wealthiest admitting that certain things, more useful than just handouts, are needed for getting the US, Europe, etc. back on their feet economically and give the generations who are hitting the work world right now some kind of fair shake at actually applying themselves and getting a fair exchange. Past that - as Mark Blyth would say - the Hampton's aren't a militarily defensible position and it would be a horror to watch our ability to feed potentially 11 billion people, solve global warming and environmental degradation, beat Covid, etc. go up in smoke because people are itching too badly for a fight and damaged civilization too badly for those things to roll out well.
Despite all the insanity going on, we still live in an incredible time with boundless opportunities for self-realization. What else can one ask for?
