@mohs@climatejustice.social I mean this politely but, why is the finding not the part worth being a part of, rather than determining an answer you know to be inadequate to this reality? Like, we seem to agree your answer is not a real answer to the question, but an answer to what could be, if only things were different. The appropriate move here would not, I think, be to wish me will in living in a hellscape created by the lack of good answers, and that if I make it through that trial into some position of having answers, AND have the ability to realize those answers, AND manage to communicate them in ways that are meaningful to people who don't currently pursue the answers of their own volition... ...but to see how you can use indeterminacy, induced by accepting the lack of satisfactory answers, to make that possible, in the real world. I'm not sure how to put it plainly without just sounding really harsh but you basically just said "Well, the world sucks, if you figure out something better I'd love it," and I don't understand how that isn't an abdication of basically any and all civic or moral obligation you might have to making the world less awful, because the problems are simply beyond your current comprehension. Like truly, I don't understand how you're not just saying "problem too complex and not infringing enough on my daily operations, out-of-scope, sorry," and that's the exact opposite of like, any sort of acceptance of responsibility to any of the world outside of your own knowledge?
