| Thanks for pointing to that, I'm always baffled at how few people fail to acknowledge the most "basic" complexities of meteorological reality. I have the suspicion that our inherent bias for linear thinking is the culprit here. Some things can't ever be grasped intuitively and as long as education doesn't at least catch up with our propensity towards boundless optimism our and many more species are essentially doomed. That said, it needs both for our children to be able to survive - boundless optimism and objective thinking. As much as I am a kid of the 80s I don't see capitalism - with all its super exciting promises - being much else than an ever accelerating system to even more short-term
thinking and conscious/subconscious ignorance at this point. Yes, it might be less comfortable but we need to change now - each one of us - to save what we have inherited. Talk with people, teach them, be nice and understanding but tell them that it's all in their hands - even if that's a scary thought! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experim... |
