ten years. so just after the world collapses. it's so great that we are blocking the development of vital tech /s. i mean, imagine a world without today's level of production of laptop screens/OLED TVs/LCD TVs/phone/tablet screens. all those toxic chemicals. there's so many things we don't need a flashlight being shone in our faces for, and (as someone else in this thread already mentioned) our circadian rhythm being disrupted for.

of course e-ink tech and the health of our eyes and sleep is just the tip of the iceberg. in the larger perspective capitalist firms are suffocating the earth with their single-use, non-modular, non-upgradeable, black box e-waste. they're not even 'tools' to me because the living and breathing Silicon Valley AI is using and abusing us (the workers) through these 'products'.

i abhor the intellectual property system and monopolized vital technologies, it means capitalism makes the worst technological tools.

Communist countries are the most polluted countries in the world.

what world economic system is committing mass ecocide and crossing our planetary boundaries by exhausting natural resources?

??? Poland isn’t a communist country.
Neither are Hungary, Czech Republic, or Slovakia. This guy is just really confused I guess
They all were not very long ago. The pollution didn't happen overnight. Much of their polluting industry was built by the communists.
