Most of us are opportunistic feeders, with an irresistible self-interest. It is one of the weaknesses of our current free market system.... lots of scammers and people who can be scammed so to speak. It is also a current business model to build up a business and sell for profit regardless of future viability (get out while the getting is good)
The first sentence that I bolded is a perspective that I firmly share. I reached the second sentence and agreed with it. When I reached the third, then I had a whole bunch of question marks. I don't mean to put your thoughts into question, but rather build on them. FYI, if I am not liking, then I typically avoid replying, so I am liking this. My response is, that while the business model does support sell for profit, there is imo an a larger portion of business people who sustain their business with a fundamental and formidable beliefs. This is my way of agreeing that there are an infinite number of dick heads, but they are nowhere near 50%.
The world is laced with bad apples. If we only focused on them, then it would drive us bananas. In my opinion this is true today as much as it was hundreds and thousands of years ago. I understand
Pollyanna, but at what point does it help to make a case for the population to grow while a the largest portion already has the willingness to grown beyond their boundary? In other words, if three quarter of the population has realized their mistake for the past 20 years, how should they be expected to react and make decisions?
We are two decades too late to make any significant change for the following two decades. If this problem was tackled in the early 2000s, then we would have been much further ahead. But we did not, due to our
irresistible self-interest. Now that we are in 2022 without significant change, folks across the planet are scrambling. To make matters worse, there are now arguments that those efforts are misguided. I think this adding fuel to the fire that is already raging. I have noted that we do these things (adding fuel) to situations that we either <feel> are too far too late, or that we <feel> are misguided.
What I am trying to say is these arguments held more value two decades ago when there was adequate time to turn things around. One of the reasons for the pushbacks that we see today that did not happen as much then, is the increase push for pseudo science. Challenging science is formidable. Pseudo science is on a whole other level. As an example, the difference in the way you and I see things does challenge me. Pseudo-science does not.
