There seems to be emerging two distinct schools of thought.
I will call these old money and new money.
Old money are those still immersed in the ideas of profit.
New money, are those seeing real harm done by the profit driven system, and they are seeking a real alternative, an end to the profit driven system.
Folk who think they are neither one nor the other, are actually old money, mostly unconscious of the part they play in the for-profit system, they continue to function in profit driven mode, in seemingly incurable, deliberate ignorance, as seen by new money.
The vast majority of people still seem to be old money, and definitely the only point of view heard at COP26 was old money, with the exception prerhaps of Greta.
Old money owns all capital, and all media.
New money owns virtually nothing, and in fact sees harm in the very concept of ownership.
Can we convince everyone to give away everything they own?
Of course not, as things stand.
So it seems old money has to win, and that is the reason we kind of accept the ridiculous profit driven estimates and promises of COP26.
Most of us are still old money.
If old money can’t solve the problem then we are doomed, so it seems, to old money.
But the actual unsustainability problem has very simple physics, with a simple, single solution.
Energy, all energy, comes from the sun, it isn’t renewable in any way at all, it created everything we know, everything we define as life and much more, it all comes from the sun. And yet we are not connected to it.
Earth is like a battery of energy from the sun, charged by that energy, and we live exclusively by discharging it, for all of our history, until only very recently.
The environmental problems are all, without exception, effects of discharging the battery of all life on Earth, and the only source of recharging it, is the energy of the sun, or just "Energy" for short.
So the physical solution is very simple - we must connect to the sun.
Until we hear those claiming and retaining possesion, of their "Right" to possess all things, admitting their ownership is a problem, we won’t hear any improvements over the kinds of estimates we’ve seen, which are broken, over and over again, because they own the media, we see and hear almost nothing, of even the basic physical problem, and the only solution, in a nutshell, as I’ve tried to put in replies like this one, for the thousandths+ time, literally.
Even the current platform is old money, so relegates all new money discussion to the bottom of the pile, effectively shadow banning it.
Even most cryptocurrency users and owners see it as capital, so they use it as old money, they own it and withold it for profit, and yet it is the key to effectively connecting to the sun, as I’ve described in my own hundreds of stories, which are all shadow banned as described.
So it is a seemingly steep uphill struggle, but those of us who are truly new money have to have faith that there are others of us out there, many, many more, we just don’t hear much from them.
