idk I used to believe free market innovation would save us but I’m at the point where I don’t trust free markets would have a financial incentive without government/collective money because the global warming isn’t a individual issue at all. A thing about capitalism is it’s really bad at handling things with negative economic value and things that require collective approaches.
Right, I think capitalism is more effective at innovating incremental advancements in technologies that’s one of its benefits. I’m arguing that there isn’t a market to solve global warming/climate change. Capitalism would be better finding solutions to mitigate the problems it has. For example, maybe infrastructure that’s more resistant to more violent and unpredictable climates.
If Elon truly cared about preserving human progress and civilization he would have never stuck himself directly in the center of partisan politics allying with the very market and governing forces in direct contention with adequate solutions, but I guess being a loveless multi-divorced dad whose children hate him applies a half life to “wokeness” and the greater civilizational good.
