Considering the way there are people completely out of touch with reality (Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos come to mind, among many others), is it possible that maybe all that greediness made them lose their humanity? Probably not literally but I guess moreso in a metaphorical way.
All I’m saying is that there has been a conspiracy to get us to burn oil, avoid clean energy, and it just so happens that lizards like higher temperatures.
