Canada19 days ago - Architecture
You might be surprised to learn about the impact of architecture on our society (and human behavior). I believe that tunnels would be required for people to live with less surface footprint (as well as canyon/ravine “bridge-homes”), less energy and material needs per person, and allow for us to live on the surface seasonally when energy isn’t needed for sustaining habitable conditions, because we could retreat to tunnels. Thinking decades to century if we started now.

Thank you both!
Apple Podcasts5ACTgreenUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Life changing insights
Nate puts clear words to vague ideas that have been floating in my head for decades. Explaining our current predicament not as moral failure, but as the result of a potential 4th law of thermodynamics is immensely helpful to move away from guilt-based activism into awareness-driven action.
