There is a direct relationship between how much energy you use and your standard of living. Your wealth is fundamentally a measure of energy used. Anyone telling you to use less energy or fewer resources believes in a zero sum economy where in order for one to have more, someone else must have less. Various religions and philosophies correctly point out the evils of greed and yet greedy individuals and power structures have also hijacked religion and philosophy to serve their own useful narrative, namely that wealth is evil or poverty is somehow noble— it’s better to have less than more. It’s possible that if we were talking about the world economic forum or climate hysteria that you might readily see my point but because I criticized a book you (I think) believe in, you can’t look past your programming. Or am I wrong… are you capable of critical thinking and seeing the pattern here?
