That sounds like a good read, but I have come to the conclusion that actually our future will be ok, its just much more FEAR from governments to keep us in fright and compliant by using things such as the climate change (which from what Ive been researching on seems to just be a natural cycle of the earth) and anything else related to saving it- is not what they say it is and is mostly a distraction so we forget about Epstein, Syria war, and many other things that is happening around us.
Obviously we can do better for the world but not really buy using electric cars and smart tech, this is all built for them to survey us more but sold to us as "helping the planet"..
I love this saying so much im thinking its worthy as a tattoo.. "How do we expect to save the world, when we cant even save ourselves?" hahahahah
'Saving ourselves' is a good one - I was listening to a zen podcast the other day about that. There's hope there too - as many of us are at a point where base survival is no longer an issue, many are turning toward meditation of various kinds as an answer - and when you start growing compassion and understanding of the self and the world as a construct, you begin to extend compassion outwards too and see things for what they are (i.e I have been socially conditioned to see the 'other' as frightening and inferior and savage) or that we are being manipulated, as you say. And the more 'woke' (ugh) we get toward what governments might be doing.
Greenwashing - I could not agree with you more. I don't want to get into a debate about existance of climate change as I don't even think that's the issue here. Look at the pollutants we DO see bleeding onto the earth - even if climate change DOESN"T exist, there's factory farming, chemical pollutants, sweatfarms, child trafficking, and a plethora of other issues that being CONSCIOUS about what we consume and support is really relevant and important. Yep, it might distract me from Syria or Epstein or the other things I can do nothing about on an individual level to any great extent, but at least these positive changes and habits can do good to the other things I care about.
And natural cycle of the Earth - sorry, but that's bullshit. We look for things we want to see - some of us prefer to see a conspiracy but there are thousands of scientific research papers that ... no, stop it girl, you said you didn't want to debate existence of climate change lol...
I think our future will be okay too - the more of us that wake up, the better. Our government doesn't believe in climate change so they aren't using that to keep us in fright, they're using the fear of the invader like Trump is.
