In 'The War Below' by Ernest Scheyder, I learned about the complexities of mining companies profiteering vs the rights of 'the land' as represented by the indigenous people and environmental activists. This is another example of how we use our knowledge to eviscerate the planet's resources developed over millenia for short term gains and enjoyment. And if you thought the oncoming demographic bomb and population collapse in the US, Europe, China and Japan will reduce demand, think again. The 0.1% who own this planet, will simply produce AI driven robots to do the work that humans cannot so they can continue to fly their jets and cruise in their yachts. How can we be so complacent when religious fanatics elsewhere are killing each other over so much less?
