Once again it is the old and ignorant that keep the young and bright from making the world better, from even trying, they are so old and afraid of everything they don't want to fund the next generation to build the future, they just want to build their little castles and hold onto what little wealth they have for dear life.

It just seems like if we had invested in manufacturing of renewables a decade or two ago we could be the worlds leader again as a country, not that we did a great job last time but we did make some progress, I just don't get why everyone who's older is now so afraid to move forward and build a future their children, it has felt like my whole life the older generations gave up in like the 70s and then just ran off 50s nostalgia since the 80s, and now it's just nothing but fear and confusion.

Not exactly rocket science, ancient astronaut theorists will probably use this as evidence that secretly this group of people got their more advanced metal from the stars obviously, not the materials, but the way to mine and turn them into a sword and shield, something obviously humans couldn't figure out in 700 AD, nope, definitely aliens.

What I'm saying is yes we do but people won't, it will cause war, wars and refugee massacres and genocides world wide, my hope is it goes well but at this point I have little faith that the people in charge could be toppled without triggering a nuclear incident and I'm guessing more walls, more guns, more bombs and violence like we have not seen since the world wars just to try and keep everyone distracted until the global environment is so damaged there's no going back, we may already be at that point, we should be working together and doing things to mitigate and we are in some degrees but drops in buckets compared to the actual work that needs to be done, we would literally need to change the entire economic system the world currently runs on and that means a lot of very rich people would loose a lot of money, humanity would be saved but people would loose money, and we can't have that, money is more important than life, or freedom, or love, money is everything, embrace it or die, because to destroy would give you a freedom only dreamed of.

But it's one of those things where if we don't change now everyone will suffer in ways we cannot even imagine right now, especially the poorest countries, and when they send refugees to ours because we refused to hold out powerful people accountable we'll start gunning them down at the border, and then, eventually, when enough people die and enough environmental damage occurs that civilization as we know it collapses and I'm guessing at least 2-300 years of techno feudalism before either extinction or something, maybe nuclear Holocaust if we're lucky.
