"it can't be done any other way" strikes me as pretty thin. Whereas we may not be able to conceive of another way at this point in time, it does no good to imagine that this condition will continue in perpetuity.

If being put out of work could be made to be less of a dire situation for the worker, some of these climate solutions might still be viable.

that's a two-way street

I'd say it's practice

>you should probably leave your job or not take it in the first place

sounds like a decadent rationalization of some kind.

>this must come as a huge transformative movement carried by many people

I believe governmental and industrial interest will follow the example set by these "many people". How do transformative movements start anyhow?

In order to arrive at "the change we need", we have to start somewhere.

We're facing the same general task... just have different ideas about how to approach it.

Wait for it to fall in your lap, or work for it.

It's possible to walk a line that straddles both approaches.

imo personal responsibility and lifestyle adjustments are just the kind of grassroots behavior that could lead humanity out of this. why wait for the industrial/capital machine to see the light and change course?

this approach, however, would have to be widely adopted and it may take generations. it's not a quick fix but i suspect it would be longer lasting, being built on a societal foundation of healty eco-habits.

Depends on your perspective I suppose. As I see it, starting over is a opportunity to try again, this time with all the knowledge you lacked the first time around. You may still encounter many of the pitfalls of the first iteration, but this time, you'll have the advantage of experience.

Or in a great position to start over from scratch.

steel beams 1.0 lol

I agree, although it's not the lines for me but the boundary of the page itself.

Relatively smaller problems are still problems. Rather than diminishing the significance of certain perspectives by calling them "not real", we should be acknowledging issues like this at all strata.
