One of the great disasters in preserving the environment is the widespread belief that recycling is somehow close to reducing consumption and reusing.
It depends on the case, but recycling is usually closer to outright waste than not consuming something, but most people seem to see recycling as nearly benign environmentally. Marketers know that slapping the word "recycle" on a product makes people think they're green, borderline tree-huggers. Now our world is drowning in garbage people think they are innocent of.

FTFY.
Do you honestly believe no one attacks men on the internet? If you ignore attacks on men then, yes, women get attacked more, but why ignore attacks on men? Is it okay to attack men?
The problem isn't that he's overstaying or that they raised him poorly. Pushing the child out of the nest is a transition many families have to go through. You might say he should have learned or they should have taught him earlier, but that's a matter of degree.
The problem is that they have so few skills to resolve the conflict that it reached the courts and media.
For hundreds of thousands of years, homo sapiens drank only mother's milk and water.
Suddenly we need alternatives?
We don't need milk alternatives to breast milk for babies or water for adults.
If you want to go around eating or milking cockroaches because you enjoy it, knock yourself out, but don't act like it solves some problem that just drinking water and eating food don't.
Similarly, Magnus Carlsen attributes his greatness to having access to more games than his role models, at least in part, owing to the games all being online.
Here's another place men dominate in the workplace: on the job injuries and deaths. Where's the #metoo movement on equality there?
I don't know why men don't start a #metoo movement around injury and death prone jobs. And jobs that are migrant, outdoor, physically demanding, and other things that make them more grueling.
People will tell themselves whatever they can to help them sleep at night, knowing that they bought their comfort and convenience by polluting everyone else's world, to keep themselves from accepting responsibility and changing.
I only hope these technologies treat us benignly when they combine and become self aware and don't destroy us like we've destroyed many species, and continue to, knowing that we're doing it.
Now try getting an American or rich person to fly less, turn down the heating in the winter or cooling in the summer, or buy less manufactured useless stuff.
Trivial changes that could reduce our pollution 90% without lowering anyone's quality of life are looked at as, "What do you want us to return to the stone age and live in caves?" as if riding a bike to work or wearing a sweater indoors in the winter undid all of human civilization.
Everyone reading these words, including you, can do things today, here, now to pollute less.

The computers probably aren't so good at it because their programmers and the rest of humanity aren't either.

You can consume less plastic. You can start now.
A popular conspiracy theory states that governments across the world have been putting fluoride in our water supply to tranquilize the masses,
I thought that was solved by television.
That's just what they want you to think.

Scientists are even worse.
Not only do they not have students read original works like Principia or Origin of Species, they make them redo experiments from scratch!
> "the largest mammal on Earth in a few hundred years may well be a domestic cow at about 900kg"
Guinness says the heaviest human they've weighed is 635 kg (1,400 pounds).
Present trends suggest that in a few hundred years, humans may be the largest land mammals.

We exported many of our polluting industries to places that, lo and behold, now have poor air quality.
We haven't gotten past Developers developers developers developers! either!
I don't see the problem.
Yo Dawg, I heard you liked leaking memos, so I leaked a memo about leaking memos so you could leak memos while you leak memos.
A good start, but still 91% left.
> Congress is toothless and Zuckerberg knows it.
Congress has teeth if it wants to act. Choosing not to bite is not the same as not having teeth.
It's more spineless, or maybe coopted or corrupt. In principle, if enough of us motivate them, they could act in our interests.
