It's like voting--if you know game theory, you know that voting is a waste of your time.

If I spent all my life avoiding "car dependence" at all, much less with the goofy fervor of the virtue-signalling green crew on the internet, I'd have roughly zero impact on climate change.

As it stands, I get to enjoy big ol' diesel trucks and dirtbikes and motorcycles.

Plenty of people don't enjoy these things and are happy sitting on the bus and enjoying things in cities, movie theaters or museums or whatever.

I just have different preferences.

Luckily, my preferences seem rare, so it's no worry.

Also, the biggest driver of climate change is the sun.

Absolute nonsense.

Supposing I'm wrong about that.

Are you saying farmers should drive teslas?

No, I'm not saying farmers should drive Teslas.

Please explain! I don't know game theory that well.
