“Humans are destroying the planet” has been a great way of off-loading the social responsibility aspect from multi-billion dollar gas guzzling AI-generated farts factory to Grandma, who forgot to put out her recycling last week.
the prefix “some” is implicit there. but also, like, the hundreds of millions of people commuting to work is a bigger problem than the thousands of people driving loud sports cars. it’s just that the hundreds of container ships going around the world is a way bigger problem still.
that’s why i continued my post. to illustrate that the issue is not the individual within the system, but the system itself and the people who shape it.
