It makes us an ECOSYSTEM!
We’re not really “human” we”re more like… … a planet.
or a forest, at least (soil, mycelium, roots, microbes, ferns, shrubs, squirrels, trees, clouds, rain, rivers…)
(imho)
lol i know
thank you for the kind reply
aaannnd art is in the eye of the beholder so idk not necessarily for the OP needing to read it
moreso for those who (as w many of us) hv poor/low sense of self-value/self-resilience
i just hear that a lot from tech nerds “my body is stupid/irrational” etc
and it’s like “or maybe we need better models to listen to & make sense of it”
But that wouldn’t generate as much profit, see! You gotta have Scarcity, otherwise ya cannot jack up the prices so high!

“Does anyone know why this is happening?”
Yes. Thom Hartmann and others have written about this. It started after the civil rights, antiwar, feminist, peacenik, environmental, etc movements of the 1960s and early 70s.
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated specifically because he was uniting poor Whites with Blacks, calling for Socialism, and launching the Poor People’s Campaign.
It was a conscious, deliberate response by the elite — against the economic and political warfare conducted by the middle class in order to eliminate the classist systemz of oppression.
The Lewis Powell Memo: A Corporate Blueprint to Dominate Democracy
Written in 1971 to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

iirc Brave has a terrible policy Not good More like … a honeypot
At least Ecosia supposedly plants lots of trees (which we desperately need)
We need like a quadrillion NET more trees than we have right now
it’s not just carbon sinks it’s also water vapor (evapotranspiration) it either forms clouds that rain (if lots of trees) or it just makes the atmosphere hotter
the internet has a big physical footprint
i don’t think tokens help.
