I like your polymath brain. And still, I'm thinking: this path is flawed. How can we think that by changing all these machines to electricity, powered by wind and solar, we will save all? What about the batteries needed? They are full of kobalt, of lithium. They are the reason that African children are working in mines. They are the cause of rainforest destruction. Can't we make quantum leap innovations to ensure we don't need that much energy for one appliance? Can't we make quantum leaps to finally understand the power of small and local grids? Can't we quantum leap the supply side with magnetic field energy? it's used in IoT already. So when we think in small, connected puzzle pieces, we can solve all...

Can't we go back to the middle and rethink all, seeing more connections in the systemic design than just the industrial, megalomaniac, uniform, huge-scale ones?

I wonder...

It's time to stop Carthesian thinking. After the mechanical world ruled by Descartes and his machines, we are now awakening to our human needs again. The Anthropocene is slowly being replaced by the Symbiocene. Watch Symbiotic Earth (the work of evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis) and how nature really functions. And then think again.

We can do better than this! I don't want to live in this purely mechanistic world anymore... I have a heart... and a soul...
