But lies were what people wanted; that was politics.

History is a wave that moves through time slightly faster than we do.

There's Jevon's paradox that the better we get at efficiently using energy the more energy we use; so that and that machine technology improvements per se do not necessarily reduce our impacts because we immediately double down on how much we use.
