I'm not able to do anything productive right now so I want to drill something home: this front page took decades. It is an outcome of us: @Harvard, @Yale, @Stanford, @Princeton, @MIT, and more, as much as it is anything. Recognize it & rebuilding is possible; bandaids won't work. Image

What's interesting about that stat is that the richest 1% are also the best-educated 1%.
Ways that those of us in the richest, best-educated 1% of the world proceed without changing:
"It's the corporations"
"Carbon footprints are a plot invented by corporations"
"I'm investing in [direct air capture] [kelp] [solar radiation management]"
