 @5410c591 It's hard because I'm not in a position to do what I think needs to be done, but if I was financially secure such that I didn't need to work anymore & my family would be provided for, I would stop working, find similarly situated people who care about trying to save the planet for the next generation & spend the rest of my time on this earth working with others to (1) figure out how to change the trajectory we are on (by any means necessary); and (2) organize people to make that happen. 
 @603773e5 I hear ya. The mundane day-to-day, down in the lived moment, is a massive time and effort vacuum. And I said mundane, but I only mean that in comparison to global causes and events. How do ants change the mind of the elephant they ride upon?
