And being right has done SHIT for me.
Blah, blah, blah.
That's the only kind that matters in our society.
Humiliating.
But no, most humans can't learn. Hopefully I can learn to not waste my time trying to convince people not to destroy their societies and their world.
Looking back it's clear that 2009 was where I should have said "OK, this doesn't work, it's a waste of time."
I still need to make a living, so I'll write, but I expect little from it.
This stuff is baked in, we've already decided as a species to do this idiocy, it's too late to change that (and sure will be in 10 to 15 years), so what I'm going to do is say "this future is a given, I need to get ready for it."
<grin>
And I'm not wrong this time.
The politics has failed, stop trying to save the maximum # of people and start figuring out who you want to save specifically.
