    I was interviewed by a reporter about my family breaking apart during covid due to conspiracy fairytails. When she asked me about my view for the future I told her it’s very grim: If humanity struggles with a challenge with a known solution (social distancing, vaccine, protect the elderly etc.) how are we going to fare with a challenge with an unknown solution (how to sequester enough CO2? How to produce enough sustainable energy reliably? How to store enough energy? etc.)?

      Also, part of the solution is to change our lifestyles for good. And we’ve seen with covid the problem of changing our collective behaviors just for a limited time.

        Yeah, apart from annoying people being annoyed, it made The Line go down.

        We can’t have that.
