In the collective hands of everyday people.

The issue is, the collective is divided, on purpose, by greedy corporations, corrupt politicians, and dishonest talking heads in the media.

The scientific community could yell from the largest pulpits, but as long as we are separated by “my team vs your team” politics, and everything being politicized, we will remain stagnant and doomed. Progress is dead. If not now, soon. Especially as AI becomes smarter and more easily accessible. We won’t know what is true or AI-Gen garbage in a couple (and i mean a COUPLE) of years.

I wish, i PRAY this comment is the most incorrect thing i ever post and we somehow turn things around. I try to play my part by voting, turning to renewables in energy and anything i buy, and informing myself and those around me of ways to be better. But individual people divided can only do so much. It will take the collective human effort to get on the right side of this. Because the collective bad actors, the rich elites, are doing what they need to keep us on the wrong side of progress.
