700% richer in dollars - but we’ve lost 73% of ALL wild animals in that time. 😤 Let that sink in. WTF are our priorities…
The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Intellect should be judged not by the words a person say but by the outcome of their actions. Not even the actions themselves but their outcome. Chess grandmasters make seemingly stupid moves until you suddenly realize that you lost.

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 20 days to make your voice heard. They filter drinking water for downstream communities. They hold soil on steep slopes above salmon streams that are already in crisis. They’re home to the northern spotted owl, the marbled murrelet, coho salmon, steelhead, and hundreds of species that evolved over millennia in conditions you can’t replicate by planting seedlings in rows. morethanjustparks.substack.c…

Technological neutrality is just drilled into modern heads like a cult catechism. "It's just a tool, it's all about how you use it." No. Neil Postman demolished this idea 40 years ago. Our creations have implicit value judgments built into them. Those judgments shape YOU.
