Illness can grip you at a physical level and be easily nullified by not knowing its there. Second you get a diagnosis and you let it pierce at the mental level its game over. Youll topple like Pompeii. Denial has an extraordinary power in healing.
Its true with everything. If you dont know your license is suspended you never get pulled over. The second you find out it is youll be pulled over within a week of knowing.
Goal of life is to never let your psyche fake you out. Its the opposite. You fake it out at every turn and you can walk through fire uncontested
Cartoon about the Vietnam war in 1975. History repeats. As Hemingway put it:
"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists."
Ernest Hemingway
Electric cars pollute 1,850 times more than fuel-based vehicles, study finds
The 2022 U.K.-based Emissions Analytics study found that after driving both a gas and electric car 1,000 miles, the number of particles collected from the EV was vastly greater than the gasoline-powered car.
"The 2022 study from the U.K.-based Emissions Analytics group found that during a 1,000 mile journey, EVs release 1,850 times more pollutants into the surrounding environment than gas-powered vehicles, due to the heavier weight which eats through tires.
While many think of emissions from exhaust, tire wear plays a significant role in emitting pollutants. The synthetic rubber used to create tires include certain chemicals that get released into the air, and because EVs are significantly heavier than conventional cars due to massive lithium batteries.
Overall, EVs weigh about 30 percent more than gas-powered vehicles, and cost thousands more to make and buy. These issues are in addition to the fact that they are not suitable in colder climates (such as Canada and the northern U.S.), offer poor range and long charging times (especially in cold weather), and have batteries that take tremendous resources to make and are hard to recycle.
