It’s a lack of education combined with willful ignorance. No one wants to accept that the Canadian way of life: monster trucks connecting suburbs masquerading as cities, massive energy waste combined with fossil fuel underpinning the economy – is in direct contradiction to a habitable planet… so they pretend it’s not a problem.

I mean, the Canadian Way of LifeTM is a construct, not even a particularly old one at this point, and far from universal. I feel your frustration, I’m in deep blue Alberta, so I can relate to being surrounded by the deeply deluded, but there are ways to break the machine that’s keeping them fed a steady diet of lies and fantasies. We can’t have a real conversation until we’re all living in the same reality.

This reminds me of an excellent video I saw about “AI” the other day: “We are so deeply steeped in bullshit that we have forgotten that there used to be such a thing as ‘truth’”. It’s long, but maybe you’ll like it too.
