"None of the problems facing humanity today are technically difficult to solve. Holistic farming methods could heal soil and water, sequester carbon, increase biodiversity, and actually increase yields to swiftly solve various ecological and humanitarian crises. Simply declaring a moratorium on fishing in half the world’s oceans would heal them too"

What kind of sanctimonious BS is this. I stopped reading because his thinking did not appear to be worth my time. And I came here to the comments to check if I was correct or not...

> sanctimonious BS

Ah yes, using big words and no actual critique. Can you please put more effort into this and explain why this post is “sanctimonious BS” to you?

"None of the problems facing humanity today are technically difficult to solve." - yes, if you're trying to solve them the way a toddler would without considering secondary effects of your solutions.

"Simply declaring a moratorium on fishing in half the world’s oceans would heal them too" isn't going to heal the oceans suddenly. Shipping channels, pollution, and all the downstream effects of the missing calories people get from consuming ocean products would have massive secondary effects.

As I said, I didn't read the post, just this blurb that I quoted.
