The water that the fish can’t see seems to me to be our profit driven way of life.

Describing science seemingly in terms of adoration, whilst saying technology won’t save us, doesn’t make much sense to me.

Isn’t science technology?

I think we can get in a muddle by confusing what we think of as successful science, with profitable science.

Profit by definition requires scarcity.

Therefore scarcity cannot be eliminated by profit, quite the opposite, scarcity is enforced by profit.

We saw that starkly demonstrated when indian laboratories were refused access to the formulae to produce their own vaccines, whilst millions were dying there, in the interests of profit.

Until it went profit driven, vaccine science could have been the answer to eliminating covid, but after it went profit driven, there is no possibility it can ever eliminate covid, since by definition, the majority of people in the world must remain unvaccinated, for scarcity, and thus for profit to be maintained.

It got screwed when it went profit driven, but we mostly seem blind to that, especially after having had the vaccine ourselves, thus arguably signing up to the scheme of profit driven vaccines, “in blood”.

Is it possible, that many folks who previously had the potential to see the problems of profit, thus to contribute towards saving humanity, had much of that potential removed, by said signing up?

Not realising, or being able to see that simple truth will of course blind folks even further to the other simple fact that the Grand Energy Ponzi is entirely driven by our profit driven concepts of capital, and posession.

That might be a different way to see the problem than how you’ve described it I think Mike.

Realising that profit isn’t a way of life for a species, its a way of death of a species, even the suicide of a species, seems farther away than ever.
