Simple silent meditation is not useful. You need rhythmic vibrations which we have discovered almost 10k years ago. The mantras we use are just a proxy for producing the vibrations in sanskrit. sanskrit was just a proxy since that was the only language we knew. all the vibrations are written in sanskrit. wont speak more.

China and India were economically nowhere some in 1950. They had to take whatever investment was coming in from other countries. So whatever the USA sold to India/China. they had no choice to take it whether it was beneficial to the environment/people in the long term or not.

And I think Americans opted for bigger cars was purely due to non availability and zero motivation of efficiency in Life in General.USA has lots of land, it has sources to get cheap oil (or it creates them). So there might have been a neglect towards efficiency.

It was america that taught people in India/China to drive inefficient Hummers and It was america that taught India/China to buy one car per family member. There are many trends like the Iphone rush which is teaching people in India/China to be materialistic even though it is harming their environment. These trends were set by america. Americans cannot stop anyone from buying anything now.
