    Absolute not just the mild cases. I think our main problem is that we are ruled by absolute psychopaths. Or are they like us, just with too much power? Sometimes I’m not sure. How much chocolate do I eat that I don’t care about who picked it, just like a billionaire doesn’t give a shit about how he earns the money for his dick rockets?

    It starts feeling more like a moral problem of giving arseholes too much power. So a ‘Have to solve now problem’ because we don’t even get to a solarpunk society without withdrawing our attention, time, money, energy from the powerful. Maybe that’s also a treatment for a lot of psycho drama - ignore it. How would we treat people like Trump or Musk if they were toddlers? When my kid was little I would just ignore it and not give it attention, because I read about it in some long lost book about how some Amazonian tribe raises their kids. It worked quite beautifully. Not sure if this shit has a cure as long as guys like these have money and people’s attention and respect.
