Someone once told me to that words for things that are not traded across linguistic borders exhibit more linguistic diversity (as in, neighbouring countries use completely different words that share no common etymological roots etc.). Butterfly is one key example.

How does that work? 🙀

A lot of the work we do is effectively to satisfy the (constantly changing and growing) desires or the wealthy (or let’s say, the desires of the people who employ wage workers).

Simple example: labour productivity has grown with 70% since the 70s while real wages have stayed more or less the same. So that growth in output hasnt been going to workers. (The time that productivity increase could have freed up, is now used to produce stuff that the workers do not get to consume themselves).

Yes Al Gore (and other people with too much money) should consume less energy (including electricity), but no that changes nothing about the importance of his (then) message, and yes there are plenty of places that are already suffering from the effects sea level rise. You are fooling yourself and its harming us all.
