Telsa, Gates Foundation, etc. Ugh. Please stop 'helping' us.

My general guess is that anything actually worthwhile will have little to no private funding behind it.

Global heating. Racism. Soil extinction. Fascism. Disenfranchisement. Inequality. Female disempowerment. etc.

I guess there is government cheese for global heating. Not sure how much useful work would be done outside of government-run and/or -funded laboratories.

And anything that could potentially start out as being at least notionally-well-intentioned will come around to being not that.

My general thinking at this point is I have to find or help to create a small, well-organized group of people who start a not-funded social movement that will oppose almost everything most philanthropists and investors and do-gooders actually care about.
