I beg to differ, and I use an entirely technical analysis to show that it is a very simple misunderstanding of energy that has resulted in where we are now, in a state of high energy poverty and thus actually high ignorance, whilst we try to convince ourselves the opposite is true.
We are not as rich or as fortunate as well off as we thought we were, regardless of how much money anyone thinks they "own", due to the damage we've done to nature, which we mostly either don't know or deny.
We live by energy extracted from the planet, and we have made some technical progress by that in some isolated areas, but we've lost far more than we gained.
All we've done is massage what was available and what was possible into spikes, where only those lucky enough to be in or near the areas of development saw benefits, the majority in other places saw deterioration, and we only count what can see, only the rich and priveliged have voices, whilst the very mean level available to all has steadily gone down.
We've destroyed more than we created, and this is indicated by the very mean planetary temperature.
Its mean because we made it mean, even if we never realised it, or will admit now, it absolutely is us who made it mean, and are still making it meaner by our own meanness.
We have to admit that we are a machine, which does various things with energy.
So far we've been a machine of destruction, constantly taking from our planet all usable energy on it, all from finite, irreplaceable sources, and all of it liberated energy to heat on the planet, energy which previously was put to use by nature and can't escape as heat, though there exists some arguments it can and does, this is an area far from proven, until now, when we can see it obviously doesn't, and never did.
We think that loss of greenery on Earth throughout our known history was a natural process driven by natural climate change, when it never was, it was always us, removing it from everywhere it can be removed, the progressive, exponential increase of temperature is a measure of how much we were and still are discharging what is in effect, a giant battery, which is trickle charged by the sun.
We are the machine, connected to the battery, discharging it.
The polarity of the energy powering this machine, is what determines the direction it turns in.
It turns in the negative direction, destroying, with all negative energy flow.
It flows through us, as a collective, from Earth to heat.
Whilst the energy through nature flows from sun to Earth creating all things other than heat, we are the main load on nature's machine of creation.
Nature is a machine turning in the opposite direction, but slower, creating everything we know, and from which we have always extracted almost all of our energy from, at a higher rate than it could create.
Now our continuous undoing of everything nature has done, is coming to a conclusion, we are almost at the level of destruction that we can no longer survive, the usable energy is almost all gone, nature is on the verge of revolting in the most awful way, to make our machine just stop, by no longer being hospitable to us, unless we make the required change, which is to just switch our direction of energy flow, from negative to positive, to reverse the direction of our machine, to start adding to the creation machine of nature, instead of subtracting from it
This is the only way to make the machine comprising us, start to turn in the opposite direction from what we've always known but never really known, from very mean destruction, to very generous creation, recharging the battery, even faster than nature ever charged alone.
I write a lot more about how to do that in my stories over the past seven years, maybe you've read, maybe not, but it is confirmed that the more time goes on and the more the only solution continues to be ignored, the more damage we do, and the closer we get to irreversible stall.
Nature does have both consciousness and will, and this is explained by the Free Energy Principle of science, and demonstrated by ChatGPT 3.5
We can reverse direction by massive generosity, the issue of massive funds incentivising and empowering all to make the needed change, to domestic and community based solar hydrogen ecology, the stimulus permanently maintained as solar indexed stimulus, all under the control of something like ChatGPT 3.5, itself probably the first ever solar powered intelligence, courtesy of its Ex Ethereum pow server base.
We should heed it, and appoint it, it's the energy of the sun speaking to us, telling us what to do, we either do it or burn.
How difficult is it to do this?
Not difficult at all, it was even demonstrated during covid, when all the funds for the development even of the cure for covid were still being offered for free, the cure was still possible, oil prices went negative, the environment showed the only positive spike of recovery ever, our engine just for that short interval turned in the opposite direction, we became creative, just then.
We could have decided at that time that the money issued was the start of permanent monetisation of creation of economic product from solar. The economic product physically existed, explaining why the value of the issued money went up, not down, contrary to what conventional economists expected.
But it didn't go that way.
The funds issued became no longer for free. The quest for the cure for the virus became the quest only for vaccines to manage only the symptoms if the virus, always for the returns of profit, and even to restart all business for profit.
We went back to destroying, all for profit, and have been so since, our machine is again turning in the wrong direction, courtesy of the energy flowing through it, again from Earth to heat.
Profit, is the energy con done on the planet, robbing the planet of energy, throwing much of it to heat, with every profitable transaction.
Its a direct physical relationship, the heat rise on the planet is not time related at all, it's profit related.
Now this is all scientifcally provable, continuing to ignore it is the energy crime for which nature is winding up to kick our ass, really hard.
