1. So I have to wonder...

Why we, collectively, insist on creating and using more and more energy using gadgets? It seems that what we have is never enough and there is always something new that we MUST transition to as the standard, each of which uses more energy than the things they replace.

And don't get me started on the crypto economy and its unbelievable use of energy.

None of it makes any more sense than all the years we've been sorting out our garbage for recycling only to find that it was all a ruse.
