Re: NFTs

So agree. I don't agree with her either, but I feel exactly as you do - demonising her and making her a Saint is not helpful. Thanks for the video links! I am totally burned out, but I could stir myself for an actual balanced view point.

It's not just tech bros that use that rationale to be fair. I've heard that delusion from just about everybody with a large environmental footprint attached to their lifestyle/life choices. People are waiting for tech to save us and it's not going to.

If have to watch one video I maybe reccommend ContraPoints's one, then. Jessie Gender is totally awesome and I love her, but her video on trans issues are maybe heavier and more emotional, while ContraPoints cuts the tension with her ridiculousness and being so extra. IDEK that video is very long, tho. so... no pressure.

You're totally right on pointing out that people with a more enviromentally friendly lifestyle use that rationale, too!
I think that people in general that blindly believe in the "carbon footprint" are delusional. It's not their fault. We as humans need something to attach to when we sense lack of control in our life and environment.
The carbon footprint is largely a lie feeded upon us consumers to trick us to consume like before or even more using the shame in our " individual complicity" of polluting the earth, while not addressing or even masking the systemic impossiblities of being more enviromentally friendly. It's all tightly connected to green washing and other tricks.
"Buy this car!!! You will feel better in your enviromentally conscious choices. It consumes less petroil/fossil fuel, but to build this car with new "green" technology we have to mine very rare minerals and trash all the old cars that circulated before, thus creating even more pollution!!!"
Even worse the green washing rethorics in the fast fashion industry. Sickening.

There are no REAL solutions in this model. The only real solution is probably global degrowth, but no government will ever want to do that or admit it's a solution.

I try to be enviromentally conscious because I try to respect where and with whom I live, but I'm aware that it's all out of my control now and while it's terrifying it's also liberating. Let it all collapse.
I sound very pessimistic and a total doomer, and on this particular subject I very much am.
