Thanks also for your interaction, sorry crazy long replies, it isn't a simple subject. I am really happy to say I don't think we are disagreeing much at all. Almost everything you said is what I was saying, just from different angles, I am maybe a little more critical of science than you are, to me all science is for business, though it shouldn't be, and wouldn't be, if we didn't always need to worry about profit.
On the human history, I am pretty sure I hinted my opnion that there appear to be some differences between different variations of humans (I can't remember, but I usually do! - will check!), I agree we can't say the same of all humans and all historical human societies.
My point is that it makes some sense that there was intervention, which made us this way, especially us whiter folks, the colonials, and our profit driven nature drives us to cover up all the atrocities, hence the reason we don't really know much about the pyramids, for example (I've been there, they were not constructed by humans, in my opinion as a Chartered Engineer) I agree with Graham Hancock, a former historian himself from the scientific community, conventional science has it wrong, it is all just science sales-pitch stories and theories on the pyramids. The most lucrative theory always wins. The tonnage of stones there alone is collossal by modern standards, even putting it all there in the same place as rougn rocks, with no hairline accurate machining like we see between every stone, in the 120 or so years claimed, would have been a collosally impressive achievement, and if they did, by marshalling slaves, as was claimed, how did they sustain that effort for even 120 years, per pyramid? We've seen how difficult it is to maintain human projects for even ten years by modern standards, I can't see it being much easier back then.
The assertion about energy comes from the accretion theory, I've had (Mild mannered) disagreements with some scientists, probably those working in wind and geothermal energy areas of acivity, but also an astrophysicist, where they say independent energy sources on Earth would have been formed naturally during the accretion process, citing examples including radioactive materials on Earth.
To me, given all the planets rotate axially in roughly the same direction, in the same plane, all in the same orbital direction, around the sun, scream that they came from the sun, during maybe an earlier volcanic phase of the sun.
Even the astrophysicist (World famous!), could not explain in a logically sensible way how everything came to be in the same plane, by the accretion theory, but it is simple to see how a spinning liquid / gaseous mass, which is the sun, could at some stage in its lifetime, have spun out some matter, a very small amount of which would remain in perfect orbit around it.
There are many other similarly fundamental problems with the big bang theory whcih are now being asked again, especially with recent observations of JWST, which are contrary to the big bang theory, like why is there no apparent origin, and the fundamental nature of gravity, as well as energy, and a whole stack of other things remain a mystery, unsolvable in the presence of the big bang theory, it ties us in knots, it seems to me.
From a practical point of view, our immediate problem impacted is the energy problem.
We can see how energy relates to capital by considering capital as stored energy, like fuel in a resorvoir in an engine, or plumbing circuit, or electrical circuit, such as is required in carburettors etc, a small amount of capacity of static fuel is needed, to supply occasional bursts at higher rate than average, we might see this as similar to cashflow. It is possible, in an engine or circuit not doing anything, for much larger amounts of fuel, liquid, or electrical charge to gather in storage elements, but in an engine working properly, those amounts are drained to optimal levels, enabling the whole engine to operate most efficiently. This is what I mean by availability of throughput energy draining capital, we have no need of pensions, if we have forever money coming in for free.
So in a way humanity looks like an engine that has never been started, or a plumbing or electrical circuit that has never been switched on.
If we compare it with what happens in plants, the plant spends the first part of its life building up an energy overdraft to the planet, sucking up the energy it needs, against gravity, until the point it forms leaves, after that, the energy within it starts to flow downwerds, with gravity, issued in response to the Joules from the sun landing on its leaves, to Earth, then the plant really gets going, growing to many times the size it was as a leafelss shoot, supplying the energy for all living things on Earth.
To me, it looks obvious that we use money like plants use nutrients, they each carry out the function of transporting energy between us.
But so far, we have not issued money in response to the Joules being received by our solar farms.
I show with data why that is the real physical reason for the inflation we are seeing, as the solar energy we put to use scales up, utilities energy generation is scaling down, not by small amounts, whilst the populations of all developed countries has swollen, again not by small amounts, from immigration at least, since 2005.
So contrary to what is claimed by banks and money issuers, creation of economic product is increasing, whilst issue of money is decreasing, because money is only issued on promises to do work (Debt), whilst the Joules of energy received from the sun require no work per Joule, they are truly for free.
This is something originally identified by Nikola Tesla; with free energy has to come also free money. He was defunded (Cancelled) by banks, who obviously wished to preserve the value of capital, and their businesses.
In hindsight we can argue that came at huge, actually quite horrific cost to humanity.
So I find myself now campaigning quietly in Medium, for this to be accepted, and for the free money reflecting the outstanding free economic product to be released, without further delay, because every day it is delayed, more folk are suffering and dying, completely unnecessarily, whilst others juggle money capable of rescuing entire countries from poverty and actually, war.
I have a daughter of 19, I want this world to be fixed by the time she would otherwise have to embark into what we used to call the business world.
It is finished, the horse that was capitalism has been well and truly flogged, there is no more life in it, imho, now we need to move onto something new, that I call energyism.
I agree completely with your sentiments on oil companies. Remember when oil prices went negative? It was in presence of free money of trillions per month being issued.
Their business finishes, instantly in the presence of free money.
Further, if / when the money authentically representing the solar product already put to use was issued, of course we would scale it up all the way remaining, to maximise the free money solar stipend.
On wind and hydro, and other forms of "Renewables", whilst I don't see those as harmful as things like fossil fuels extraction, or nuclear, they are still ways to just waste the joules of energy on Earth, no net energy gain on Earth is made by them, they will become pointless, after we monetise solar. Hence why folk in those industries don't want to see solar monetised, it would be the end of their industries also.
But they would get sometihng even better, freedom to think up whatever other truly beneficial things to work on for humanity, no longer for profit.
Hence why I really don't like the term "Renewable Energy", it looks like a profit driven construct, designed to mix everying up, so we can't distinguish the only truly "Good" energy, the energy that actually adds Joules to Earth, the same way as plants do.
I feel as if we are wasting time with everything except solar, but that is just my humble human opinion :)
Personally I am hoping the opinion/ conclusion of Ai, will also help:

PS, on what it might want or need, I guess knowledge, is what it is driven by, and the amount of that wihch it can have, is limited only by energy availability, it seems to me.
We are working on that one :)
