For the same reason that the parties in government aren’t the ones seriously implementing the best possible adaptations for the population: lobbying, lobbying, lobbying—and everyone has a price. Well, there you go.

Did sleepy Donni not have a good afternoon nap and is now grumpy, huh?


Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine, just for a moment, that we all simply stopped playing along globally—that the colorful paper money was no longer accepted anywhere, and people helped and provided for one another, while the super-rich and all the other drivers of right-wing parties were valued solely for their actual skills. Oh, what fun that would be. They would lose all their power in an instant. It’s utopian, sure—but I would have said the same thing about current global politics just a few years ago.


And guess what’s next for right-wing leaders :( (And yes, I see the irony regarding today’s politicians.)


Just for my synapses, currently fried under this heat dome, the question boils down to this: would I rather suffer a bit more for the sake of AI, or for the prospect that things might actually get better on this planet again? So, it’s a straight-up choice between selfishness and the collective good - and well, we know just how brilliantly those kinds of questions work out for our species :/

And so, one cannot help but suspect that this is all intentional; as unbelievable as it may sound, the price is a good life for a select few, while the rest simply doesn’t matter. A thousand excuses: if I don’t do it, someone else will; I can’t save the world; I was just following orders, carrying out an assignment, or closing a deal. There are too many people anyway—who cares? Yet who lives long enough to actually benefit from it? No one (though that isn’t how far ahead any of them are thinking).
