<p>Added some thoughts of mine</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>I really like this framework/concept, and need to work on it sometime, but at least when quickly searching for a summary for someone, i found tons of use by Neo-Climate Deniers (more like Green Transition Deniers as Climate Change is becoming Undeniable etc) and AI Accelerationist Bro types etc.<br /> <br /> Disheartening stuff lol, granted probably just operator error in my searching.<br /> <br /> All in all though picking up litter at work (despite previously “clearing” the same exact spots), constant plastic/microplastic pollution stuff, rampant wastefulness, news of ultra-low reservoirs out west (and my knowledge from that Water Resources class that even the Florida Aquifer isn’t doing great), Sunscreen as a COEC / Microplutant (which at the same time is essentially to combating Skin Cancer etc short of just not being in the sun much/wearing thick clothing+hats etc), and just ‘’’gestures at political system imploding in the USA’’’ (+ all the wars) it is just painful to think lol<br /> <br /> The Mass Awareness, Political Will, Political Power, and Capital needed to fix the world’s problems, versus my ability to volunteer/MAYBE throw a few coins at some small groups doing super soaker fights with a metaphorical wildfire is really disheartening at times.<br /> <br /> All for the Koch Brothers / Other various status quo benefactors to dump waaay more into way more groups etc<br /> <br /> Political violence just becomes a Reichstag fire in our Post Truth era, and most “average joes” either don’t know, don’t care, both, or are in a similar situation of trying to do something etc but short of having a podcast or some community level group thing etc don’t have much ability to change things.<br /> <br /> I’m rambling, and as per the various relevant quotes by people dealing with worse for longer etc a lot of it is just “fake it till you make it” / “continue doing the right thing in spite” etc but all in all the futility the metacrisis makes me feel has been especially crushing as of late <br /> <br /> --[[User:Eric|Eric]] ([[User talk:Eric|talk]]) 23:03, 4 May 2026 (UTC)</div>
