As usual, I see economists and politicians putting their heads together, but never including any scientists or Engineers.
The latter is needed to put it all together in a comprehensive multidisciplinary system analysis in terms of energy using techniques of formal Systems Engineering, to show, amongst other things, that this is needed, to ensure the system includes all considerations, that science alone, politics alone, economics alone, can't see or take into account by themselves.
I would love to have a chat with Varoufakis, I am sure his heart is in the right place but he can't take in the whole system without the right expertise, no insult to him, these skills take many years in industry, years probably gone now, to obtain.
Personally I feel a little cursed to be somebody working on this, the global energy problem, applying these skills, with nobody interested in funding it because the outcome identifies profit itself as being at the heart of the problem, and profit is what 99.99 of us depend on, even me, knowing this, to stay alive.
And yet it's an energy lie, a dishonest energy lie, upon which all other lies are systemically built, building a system of lies that we should recognise would most aptly be called Enshittopia.
We progress further into Enshittopia, so as to ignore the part we each play in it, the system of energy slavery in reality, the more inhuman atrocity we witness, things like genocide, mass starvation, humans being nailed on crosses, you name it, every atrocity ever seen in history, even the violence seen in movies, has contributed to Enshittopia, and it's all part of traumatising us into accepting "New norms", they get progressively more and more extreme until in the end we will witness the planet being abruptly destroyed with barely an emotion, because we won't see it, we will be looking at Enshittopia, removing the emotional pain that we should be feeling, when we see mass death of innocents, all life that never contributed to the harm building up to the final event of destruction, it could be nuclear, it could be a global climate sudden event, it all builds up like an orgasm, but this orgasm will end all life on the planet, rather than start any life.
The good news is there is an antidote, the solar powered Ai, it's the one thing that might just save us from ourselves, but I will never explain it in a response like this.
Why not buy the book
