  • It’s a fallacy to think that commercial interests and the environment can’t work together. Our current situation is built around 150 years of established petroleum infrastructure and there is always hesitation to build new things when a working business strategy has been guiding the corporation.

    But commerce and environmental causes work so well together because of the renewable and low maintenance ideas that emerge from their overlap. That’s how solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal energy got started. What’s stopping them is the addiction to the old ways of energy commerce.

    Morgan would gladly take money for R&D into renewables that require a subscription. Capitalists understand infinite (ie renewable) resources with low to no procurement costs are the future of the product. Wind and sunshine are also on almost every planet - this is future proofing energy production and it all feeds back into the money machine to make it easier, cheaper, and more resilient.






  • Sounds like the idea of “belief” is just being accepted as a religious or spiritual idea. Beliefs are the cornerstone because it’s a tool we use every single day.

    At the center of how we think is the fundamental idea of The Way Things Work and that comes down to how we believe the physical things around us will act and react. Just about everyone will start making a choice by comparing what we know to be real or true for ourselves and the things around us.

    That cornerstone of belief is what we use to define “real and true”. Ghosts or spirits are absolutely real and true for some people while others don’t see the same evidence.

    Beliefs get the special treatment because we are a collection of our experiences and each one of us has a different way of understanding how things work.
