Eminent climate scientist James Hansen looks to a generational shift in political leadership, but I'm not sure that will change much. The young people around me are for the most part acquisitive, politically and emotionally immature, and self-centred, while the environmentally aware are boomers and gen-x.
Youth is vastly overrated.
@hesgen Sadly, I see the same thing. Is it down to the power of advertisers, paid influencers, partisan news outlets, without a strong (i.e., well-funded) opposing, science-based narrative?
@hesgen @sothach Capitalism has its codependent, biploar opposite in Autocratic Communism, with a 'middle Socialism' equally suppressed by 'pure profit', with the likes of fossil fuels billionaires, their brainwashed shareholders that also hold political sway/office. Even educational systems highly sus (for the Gen Z'ingers) in their 'general education' complicity, in lieu of the specialized learning that keeps a myriad of 'aggression displacement' (insanity) at bay.
This is essentially why 'third world countries' are increasingly the better 'inverse proportion' option for #BaseloadPower and #SpecializedLearning #education.
