Wow. And that is why you think I write the way I do?

Wow. Wow. And wow.

How can one give solutions to a problem for which there are no solutions? I've presented plenty of working solutions that would fix the problem with climate change through the years. None of htem are acceptable to humanity.

Here are some.

1. Remove the profit motive. Business can run without a loss and break even. This eliminates inequality and the drive to make people do whatever it takes. However, because everybody wants to be rich, it's not going to happen.

2. Invest massively in public transport and remove the personal ownership of cars from the road. In Europe and the UK, it's not necesseary to own a car.

3. Provide free education to whatever level people want, and teach them all the skills they need, so that nobody is deeperate for work, and so that everybody has some self-respect.

4. Pay a universal basic income to everybody because more and more people are going to be out of work, and at some point, that is going to cause massive civil unrest. As the Pentagon pointed out about 6 or 7 years ago, there will be an increasing number of wars as countries begin to want the resources of other countries.

I've written solutions many times.

But, of course, that's not what you're looking at. You're looking for personal acceptance. Nobody can force people to personally accept those they don't want to accept.

The only thing one can do is make peace with the situation and buld one's own little world. One doesn't need more than a handful of friends. One doesn't have to be king of the castle. One needs food, a roof over one's head, health, and a few good friends. That's it. That is more or less attainable for everybody.

I'm sorry you think that someone of Umair's intellect would waste his massive intelligence on trying to grow hi snumbers. He is widely respected for his intellect, and I can assure you that he doesn't need Medium to 'build a following."

Also, if you read the pages attached to his blog on Medium, you see that he does present a solution.

Here's Umair's article for how everybody can live good lives, how to fix the economy, and how we can all work together. Have you ever read them?

In any event, Anthony, you believe what you want to believe. I am no longer writing on Medium. I just feel warn out. I've written about climate change, apartheid, capitalism, etc. for decades. I'm done. I'm written my last story on Medium.

Cheers.
