[quote=Anonymous] I have similar thoughts when I see large amounts of plastic displayed on front lawns that disrupt our endocrine systems with microplastics and will end up killing off species, including ourselves... ...but I also understand that this happens all throughout the year, not just for Halloween or Christmas, so it's not rational to get triggered right at Halloween. As a scientist, I understand that the human abilities to accurately assess long-term risk and exercise delayed gratification have not evolved as quickly as our incredible talent for technological progress. The growing gap between industrial development and our ability to control our desires are at the root of most modern ills of society. We're hunting-gathering brains swimming in an ocean of tech and AI. It's mind-boggling, when you think about it.[/quote]
