Document Summary
Rethinking of bioenvironmentalism, with modernism and necessity to make world a better place. Downsides, exploitations of all of it are too depressing to focus on, and it"s clear that drawing attention to this instead of the other aspects isn"t working enough on society and for societal change. The negative effects of modernism and the side effects of technology aren"t supplying enough of a basis. As we can see, old solutions are failing! They aren"t persisting as classic market liberals: we have solvable environmental problems, and these problems are exaggerated. (cid:12200) A escallading, wicked snowballing problem that is overwhelming the earth. So, instead of saying, we need to overcome inequality, etc. etc . We need to double down on the sources of technology! Nuclear power, geo engineering this is what we need to solve all of our problems at hand. This has gone too far, too deep, and we cannot fix political systems, clearly.
