I just love this quote, and isn’t it true? We so often shape-shift and accommodate because we think someone might like us better or it might make their life better. Spoiler alert: it never does.
I don't want self-driving cars.
I don't want humanoid robots.
I don’t want AI in every app I use.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want a habitable planet.
Masking on planes is one of the easiest lifestyle changes we could collectively make to halt or slow future pandemics. Vulnerable ppl have to fly for various reasons and have no choice but to be trapped in a tin can w you. You should be home if sick, masked if flying.
Covid showed us we could slow down, work different, care for each other, rethink everything. We had one rare chance to build a life that was less cruel, less exhausting, less centered around grinding people into dust.
Instead we sprinted right back into burnout, greed, higher costs, worse mental health, and pretending this is normal.
That’s what makes me angry. We learned nothing.
