A very on point article by TheGuardian theguardian.com/environment/ng… talking to almost half of all the IPCC scientists, asking them important questions.

The message is this: climate change will have a massive impact on so many ecosystems and overall on billions of people. Pretty much all scientists are pessimistic and realize that their work is in the end futile. They show us what is happening and why. But politicians are not giving a shit. Influenced by a fucked up society of trade and in the pockets of oil giants, they only have words and no actions.

But no one talks about trade, and how this society is based on trade and thus the situation at hand is predictable. Of course everyone cares about trading. Thus billionaires, thus inequality, thus waste and pollution, and so forth.

Also no one talks about the fact that all of us are slaves to trade. How can you and I get involved about this matter when we all have to trade in order to survive!? What are these scientists expecting from ordinary people to do when they are all in chains in this system?

They slightly poke at "capitalism" but too little, too late.

How about banning ads? How about a Universal Basic Income to let us get involved and do something about this? People can't even afford to protest for-fucks-sake... How about some historians and anthropologists explain to everyone that we live in a society based on trade which evolved for the past 10.000 years and it is now obsolete and incentivizes us to be idiots and terrible. How about we talk about a different kind of system?

Too edgy!?

Sure....

Then let's continue to produce more reports so we know exactly how fucked up things are and will be. At the same time no solution will emerge.

Pathetic for an "intelligent" species.

Do not forget that the internet, youtube, netflix, cars and supermarkets, lightbulbs and modern medicine, do not make our society "civilized". These are a result of often enslaved humans producing "stuff" in a trade-based society. Technologically we, as a society, are quite advanced, but morally we are primitive.

Despite all of this technological progress humans are still forcing ALL of their billions of members to trade in order to survive, despite being able to feed, house, and take care of everyone on Earth. This means we are still primitive and have no greater goals such as exploration, the advancement of technology and science, understanding where we came from and where we are heading... All that humans do is trade, day in, day out.

Slaves and slave owners. Simple minds. Robots.

If you take away the electrification, internet, the gadgets, the hot water and the mass produced products - stuff - you are left with the "naked" humans who all they want is to acquire more, get "married", work, have kids, drink, and cheer up for their tribe.

It is the environment who creates these behaviors so if we do not change the "mental" environment, nothing will happen. We do not need new tech, new science, new materials. We need new lives for the individuals of this species. Lives that are relaxed and taken care of. Scientific, globally oriented, and to live in a non competitive environment.

So the UN or other institutions, if they ever want to solve any global issues, they need to first propose that we should take care of people and create a decent life for them. All of them, not just the very poor. We are all trapped in this trade-prison. You can't expect for a different society to emerge when all humans do is to slave away and compete with each other. Dog eats dog world.

Happy 1st of May to all of the slaves who got a day off. What a disgrace of a society.
