Some "good" headlines of recent days: #Anthropic the paragon of virtue! The world a better place if we buy useless crap from European #corporations, not U.S. ones! #Solar makes us independent of oil and #geopolitics!

We need real change. Not feel-good straws to grasp at while we continue our fall...
Running through the woods blind, faster and faster, while avoiding the trees by sheer belief in a nonexisting sixth sense.
That's the essential definition of foolishness.
We are accelerated by fools towards our own extinction.
