I’m a ship. In front of me is a giant rock, past that there is another ship, finally the beach. I can run into each of them. The rock is more important because I’m gonna hit that first. Can’t make it any more clear
So you are willing to run into another ship just because there's a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.
The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage
When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
This shit is why nothing EVER gets solved, spreading out resources to all the problems instead of solving the most important one first. Just like those in power like it.
You won’t solve microplastics while the people in power won’t do anything about it. And they are too busy with dividing up the globe and planning mass executions to be bothered with something that isn’t going to affect them at all.
But whatever man. You keep putting your effort into whatever floats your boat. I’m sure you’ll feel great about it when you are getting rounded up. Heaven forbid In this cosmic hellhole a few people found a tiny bit of joy with some googly eyes
A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your "I can only think of one issue at a time" attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.
Is it though? Give me your plan - go on, what’s your plan to fix ALL THE THINGS, ALL AT ONCE. Cause never once in the history of man kind has anyone ever pulled everyone together to do it. I and the Nobel prize committee await your brilliant proposal.
Oh and do it with the current world leaders in power, seriously, tell me how this works with Billionaire backed right wing facists across the globe having 99.99% of the power.
You take things step by step. You don't fix everything at once, but beginning and continuing a variety of initiatives against a variety of threats more easily allows you to scale up those efforts as threats grow closer. It's a lot easier to do something if you cut it up. And early starting allows easier starts.
You think that just because something is further in the future that it should be disregarded, but in reality small, fairly low effort approaches started sooner will former a much stronger base in facing threats as opposed to pretending only the closest is a real one.
And this is just plain doomest, as well as wrong, for now.
Yea not seeing a single plan there. Just a lot of naivety of the current state of the world. But cool whatever, keep doing exactly the same thing that hasn’t worked again and again, I’m sure it’ll work this time.
I’d rather full-ass one thing then half-ass a dozen
You're not full adding one thing nor do you have a specific plan in mind.
