I felt like I was riding in an on rails open top vehicle through a like, society made up out of pulsating fractals. I remember going under an arch, and on top of the arch were beings also made of light and pulsating fractals, and they looked at me and spoke and fractals spilled out of their mouths.

After I got through the arch, I heard this sound like… a torn speaker driver crackling as it plays, and the sound got louder until it was like a stampede of Buffalo engulfing everything that is. I felt my eyes open as if they were always closed, and around me I saw sand in all directions. I became scared. I remember thinking, what if I can’t come back from here? And suddenly it was like I was sucked backwards through reality and deposited back into my body.

My friend who was with me and also under the influence said he saw arrows embossed on my skin pointing up towards my head, and then I became invisible for a moment, completely unseen. As quickly as I left, I returned. And we had an interesting conversation after.

Do you think titles like that are a result of a severely myopic mind, unable to even comprehend why a corporation would willingly do something that their users dislike, or just clickbait?

Yeah, it actually is.

Found the guy with the superiority complex mad that the union didn’t fall for their sucking up to the bosses.

Agreed, there’s limited resources, that’s exactly why we can’t afford to waste any more on another CEO mega yacht or private plane. We’re capable of a post-scarcity society with just the setup we have today, were we to distribute resources on need rather than greed.

Or check it, we don’t increase our consumption, so we don’t need more energy. We purposefully decrease it. We allocate resources by necessity.

Widget factories don’t need to operate 24 hours a day, and their owners don’t need to make 500x their employees wages. Kill two birds with one stone, the widget factory is only allocated enough energy to run a few hours a day, and the wages from its executives (who have proven they don’t deserve it by the very lack of care towards sustainability they have presented) go to the workers to ensure they continue to make the same amount despite the decrease in work time.

You do that with all of the industries in the world, and I guarantee we could cut emissions by 50% within a year. Obviously, global implementations are much more complicated than my comment would imply, but I think accepting an end to a system where the only limits placed upon industry is “how much money do you have?” Is necessary entirely to have even a fraction of a chance at beating climate change.

Then, once we’ve stopped wasting massive amounts of energy on inherently useless endeavors, then we can start to talk about the pollution caused by nuclear, but until then, it’s just replacing one extractive industry with another. Whether or not in theory nuclear is less damaging environmentally, our current Money = Right system precludes the possibility of such sustainable practices being put into place. There is always another country that can be corrupted to allow destructive, cheap extraction processes, like what happens in Mail, Burkina Faso, and Niger as we speak.

That’s funny.

So you’re willing to move within 1 mile of a uranium mine and live there and drink the well water from that property?

Or are you just willing to sacrifice others for your luxurious lifestyle?

There are alternatives other than continuing to expand our consumption of fossil or nuclear fuels. Hell, most of them don’t even require lifestyle changes from the majority of the population.

Or, maybe people recognize that literally the majority of radioactive mining leaves irradiated lands that disproportionately effect minorities and oppressed communities. The Navajo are still suffering due to the mining of radioactives in their area. The same story is true for nearly every community near such facilities.
