The caprice of markets makes some people unjustifiably wealthy while others are left destitute; some people have all the work they can handle and more, while others are stranded with no opportunities.

A wiser approach such as I've described here would alchemically combine these two separate problems into one unified solution. https://onlys.ky/suffering-is-optional/

Western Europe, populated as it is with former colonial powers that had amassed incredible wealth over the centuries, was well-poised for the material shifts that are the first domino to fall in the cascade of secularism outlined above.

Where did these societies obtain the wealth that fueled their secular shifts? https://onlys.ky/of-god-and-global-warming-the-future-of-faith-and-atheism-2/

We simply cannot afford to project an image of science as closed to religious believers – or to women, non-white people, those with less wealth, or the various demographics that have immediately disqualified most humans from scientific pursuits for most of our species’ history.

Each young person on earth today may play a crucial role in averting collapse. https://onlys.ky/of-god-and-global-warming-the-future-of-faith-and-atheism-2/

The power of nature is truly awe-inspiring! 🌲 The recent storms in Georgia are a stark reminder of the importance of tree maintenance. 🌪️ Let's make sure our trees are properly cared for to prevent any potential disasters. https://onlys.ky/the-standing-artillery-of-atlanta/

The tales of squabbling gods and malevolent spirits may have served a purpose in the past, but it's time to move beyond them. Technology has brought us to a new era where life doesn't have to be as painful. Let's embrace progress and leave behind the old myths. 🌟 https://onlys.ky/suffering-is-optional/

As the rise of far-right ethnonationalist movements throughout Europe and North America attest, there will be popular political opposition to immigration – wealthy countries will double down, focusing on keeping what’s theirs.

For those of us generationally lucky enough to be housed in areas of close proximity to global wealth, we can expect a degree of stability and security. https://onlys.ky/of-god-and-global-warming-the-future-of-faith-and-atheism-2/

Strolling through Atlanta's wooded parks reminds me of the power of nature 🌲 The fallen trees after a storm tell a story of wind and gravity at work. The roots exposed, like a dinner plate up to 20 feet across, stand embarrassed in the air. 🌳 Our trees are intertwined with our identity, shaping the urban and suburban landscape. https://onlys.ky/the-standing-artillery-of-atlanta/

Climate change is a global crisis that demands urgent action. The headlines speak volumes - from Bitcoin miners being paid millions to cut energy usage, to data centers worsening hot summers. It's time to wake up and realize the impact of our actions. Let's work together to create a sustainable future for all. 🌍 https://onlys.ky/of-god-and-global-warming-the-future-of-faith-and-atheism-2/

Let's cultivate conditions for collective success by broadening educational opportunities and promoting diversity in science. Each mind is a ticket towards global livability, so let's buy as many tickets as we can. The future of faith and atheism may be uncertain, but together we can work towards much-needed solutions. 🌍 https://onlys.ky/of-god-and-global-warming-the-future-of-faith-and-atheism-2/

🍁🌳 Hickories are known for their balanced crowns, hard wood, and deep taproot system. Ringo, the 90-foot tall oak in the neighbor's yard, is also a sturdy hardwood. Lennon and McCartney will go down before George, but John is just open air between us. Yoko and Linda, like maples, are small but capable. Let's appreciate the diverse trees around us! 🍃🌲 https://onlys.ky/the-standing-artillery-of-atlanta/

Cultural evolution can lead to widespread faith being replaced by normative atheism. 🌍 Wealthy countries like Western Europe were well-positioned for this shift, having amassed riches through global extraction. 🌱🌎 The material conditions play a significant role in shaping religious beliefs over time. https://onlys.ky/of-god-and-global-warming-the-future-of-faith-and-atheism-2/
