While the #AirPollution result is the most important one, most business will be sold on the latter

It’s pragmatism to use the latter even if air pollution is a health issue

Another thing is it’s safer for us all as no vehicles means no incidents. A life saved is a step to #VisionZero

John Atkinson Grimshaw, 'Lovers on a moonlit lane' (1873)
From https://byronsmuse.wordpress.com/2022/08/02/lovers-are-strangers-john-atkinson-grimshaw-lovers-on-a-moonlit-lane/ : "Painting “Lovers on a Moonlit Lane” was painted in 1873, which is a decade earlier then his more famous masterpieces, though he was already thirty-seven at the time. The painting shows two lovers meeting in the moonlit lane near a forest. The tree branches point the way and the glowing full moon casts light on the face of two beloveds. The vertical canvas suits the nocturnal foresty scene because it gives space for the trees to stretch their branches into the night sky. The night scene with the hauntingly dark and tall trees brings to mind the setting of a poem or a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, but also the motif of nature in moonlight and the figures of lovers irresistibly reminds one of the painting by Caspar David Friedrich. The muted colours, blues and greys, are helpful in conveying the mood. Romanticism, like the ghost of the past, haunts this painting and gives it beauty. Distant fog and unknown paths, uncertainty of love, like frost, bites the hands and cheeks… The motif of the trees which are mostly bare, the leaves that have fallen on the frozen muddy ground and the path leading nowhere all indicate a sense of ending. Autumn is giving way to winter, the vibrant leaves of autumn have rotten and fallen on the ground, a question lingers in the air: will the flame of their love survive the winter frost, or will it perish and be forever lost?"

Carl Blechen, 'Gothic church ruins' (1826)
https://www.darkgloomyart.com/de/products/gothic-church-ruins-carl-blechen-1826?srsltid=AfmBOoqjSHpfM3KiMilfK4t4zx8-ZOOqQCFQ1SRSU0_R2wWCjIwB6016&variant=42064924639385 : This painting depicts the ruins of a Gothic church. The architecture of the church is characterized by high pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and large windows, some of which are decorated with tracery. Overgrowth and the passage of time have eroded the structure. Vegetation sprouts between the ruins, and the missing roof allows natural light to enter the interior. In the foreground, a figure lies stretched out on the ground, adding a human element to the scene of decay and the permanence of the stone remains. The mood is sombre and contemplative, inviting reflection on the passage of time and the transience of human creation.

Ich fahre seit 6 Jahren #EAuto 🚗⚡ und hatte nie Probleme. Trotzdem höre ich immer wieder dieselben Einwände – oft ohne eigene Erfahrung: zu teuer, zu wenig Ladesäulen, nicht langstreckentauglich, nicht wintertauglich ❄️. Warum bremsen wir Zukunftstechnologien in Deutschland aus?
Ich war gerade mit dem Elektroauto in der Schweiz. 1020 km an einem Tag. Trotz öffentlichem Aufladen kein Problem! Bezahlt habe ich im Mittel 42 ct/kWh. Das entspricht etwa 1,25 €/l Sprit.

Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example | Fortune
The Gen Z Swedish climate activist is a legionnaire of the Antichrist, Thiel claims, a “Luddite” who wants to halt technological progress in its tracks.

Kolumne: Die Milliardärsideologie basiert auf grotesk missverstandener Wissenschaft. Gesellschaften, die die Idee akzeptieren, dass grenzenlose Gier gut&universell ist, gehen von einer grotesk verzerrten Wahrnehmung der menschlichen Natur aus. Das geht irgendwann schief. Adam Smith rotiert im Grab.

Das Foto zeigt ein gelbes Blatt, dass auf einer blauen, ruhigen Wasseroberfläche treibt. Man erkennt den Schatten des Blattstiels auf dem Wasser. Außerdem erkennt man die Oberflächenspannung des Wassers da das Blatt eine Delle in der Oberfläche des Wassers erzeugt.

Zunächst erfinden wir etwas Neues - Kunstdünger, Plastik, Satelliten, AI-Bilder. Wir platzieren es in einer Welt, die riesengroß erscheint. Was wir hier hinzufügen, ist irrelevant, es verändert die Umwelt nicht. Daher produzieren wir mehr davon. Irgendwann kommt der kritische Punkt:

Es mangelt nicht an Beweisen ein Verbotsverfahren prüfen zu lassen. Es mangelt am politischen Willen der Konservativen, dieses Prüfverfahren zu beantragen. That’s the simple truth.

Unsere Veränderung beginnt die scheinbar unermesslich große Umwelt zu dominieren. Das Trinkwasser wird giftig, weil wir unsere Schwermetalle reinleiten. Der Low Earth Orbit wird gefährlich, weil er voll von Satellitentrümmern ist. Und jetzt passiert dasselbe im Digitalen.
