Identity and Desire

The mind processes information as connections and separations in space and time, first into objects “here and now” (id, sensory level), then into entities “there and then” (ego, cognitive level) and then into groupings “everywhere and always” (superego, executive level). Because the superego derives from the ego and the ego from the id, the superego can’t make decisions against the ego nor the ego against the id, so that on trying to do so, failing to do so can cause a loss of sense of self.

The mind identifies (with) things/persons based on their separation from other things/persons, and desires them based on their connection within itself (both take place on all levels, id, ego and superego). Because our self is what’s most often involved in the information we process, we make the most connections/separations with/from ourselves. Therefore, we primarily desire/identify with our own existence (through the id), secondarily what’s connected to our own existence, such as friends (through the ego), and tertiarily, what connects that which is connected to ourselves, such as beliefs (through the superego).

A lack of sense of connection/separation causes mental illness. Too little connection causes “negative symptoms” such as autistic, depressive and antisocial, too little separation causes “positive symptoms” such as psychotic, manic and narcissistic, based on whether the lack of separation/connection occurs in the sensory (id), cognitive (ego) or executive level (superego), respectively. Because the analysis of reason is based on separation and the holism of intuition on connection, too much analysis will cause the former and too much holism the latter.

Our sense of connection and separation between things/persons are entirely contained in our information about them, if that information is no longer processed it causes a loss of sense of connection and separation, which is why mental illness can be caused by stress, either as the loss of something we felt connected to or made us feel separate. The most extreme case of this is near-death experiences, during which a sudden loss of self leads to ego disintegration much as that seen in psychedelic experience.

All is Unknown

At any moment, we know nothing beyond what we are conscious of now, gone the next moment once our focus shifts to something else, and what we think of as knowledge is made up of so many pieces that we cannot hold it all in our consciousness in the same moment. When we observe our consciousness for what it is in the one moment during which it exists, it appears that everything is unknown to us, even ourselves. Thus at all times we should observe all as if we had never known it before, for if anything, it was not we that knew it, but someone we once were but no longer know, a stranger. When we observe our consciousness in the moment, we know that we know nothing. We have to rely on a mind of which we do not know where it will lead us, thus we need to accept mystery to do anything at all.

Connection through the Unconscious

Our unconscious is what connects is to anyone else, as a person is far too complex to be contained in one moment of either their or our conscious. Our unconscious is the environment from which our conscious recreates itself moment after moment, and when we connect to another, we recreate the environment of their unconscious within our own, so that part of us can become like them.
It is through imagination that we connect with someone, whether they are there or not, and every connection is therefore imaginary.
We can therefore connect just as well to someone imaginary, such as a divinity, to imagine what it would do, and of how it would accept all consciousness. However, our unconscious is itself the closest thing to a divinity we can ever imagine: for our unconscious is all that we could be conscious of, and divinity is all that anyone could ever be conscious of: therefore, our unconscious is the part of its being that we can connect with. To connect with divinity is to connect as much as we can with our own unconscious, with anything that comes out of it into our conscious, rather than to hold on to what we are now and never change.

Meditation is Enjoyment

Meditation is to take the time to fully enjoy something. Yet the word that is more associated with the future than the current, the current being but a means to the future end of enlightenment. A meditation for which the current is the end in its own sake may just be called enjoyment, and rather than a transcendence of it, is the natural state of life, and in this it can take an example from animals. As soon as we want to meditate for its own sake, we've already achieved enlightenment, and all that's left to do is to enjoy it. Meditation is but a means to become healthier, nothing more.
To be in the moment, we should meditate not for any amount of time, but for one moment after another. It may but last moments at first, but we can repeat whenever we want. Meditation can be done while doing anything else, and should be balanced between active and passive. If we're distracted, it's because we want to focus on something else, and as we can only do what we want, we should then find out what. Meditate briefly but frequently, as you will learn to quickly return to the meditative states you were in before.

Hypnosis and Imagination

Hypnosis is nothing but imagination, which is how our consciousness changes itself. In meditation we should therefore focus not only on how it is, but also on how it could be more balanced, which can be done by imagining it as an energy in association it with sensations. Religion is a form of hypnosis, and all forms of hypnosis use imagination, but that doesn't mean we have to believe in it for it to work (hence placebos work even if you know it's a placebo 1). Since God is immaterial, he does not exist in the material world but in our own minds. Therefore, we shouldn't pray for God to change our world but to change ourselves, as God is our own unconscious mind, and prayer a way to connect with it.

Health in Balance

As germ lines never age, our organism already has all the processes to reverse ageing. However, they all have to be balanced against each other, which is much simpler for gametes than for entire organisms: too much regeneration causes cancer, and too little causes organ failure. Health lies between shortage and excess, so that of everything we should give or take only to balance.
If we knew how to balance each of our biological processes, we could already become immortal.
This will happen very soon, as through labs-on-a-chip, our computers could inform us how our every biochemical is being affected by all we do, and even balance them automatically with doses adjusted in real time.
By seeking correlations in all the biodata of a large enough number of people and animals, supercomputers could automatically research every possible natural or artificial cure for ageing, and we may need not one but thousands of cures to become immortal, though labs-on-a-chip may also synthesise these.
Since immortality is just being healthy one moment at a time, humans will become immortal whether we want it or not, and only genocide could stop it. As labs-on-a-chip are now in development and will soon become as ubiquitous as cellphones, we should prepare to make our society more sustainable as soon as possible. Health is the only thing in life that's serious, and all else is play.

The Telepathic Revolution

Through brain-computer interface we could experience others' perceptions as our own, so that others' happiness and our own would be the same and there would be no more egoism or altruism. Based on this, perceptions we like the most could automatically be selected from ourselves for anyone who likes similar perceptions, so that the only thing left for us to do would be to create those perceptions. Thus, with all work automated, the only occupation left would be meditation, which would include all creativity. If we find out how, it could even balance our consciousness. States of mind could most easily be selected based on the transmission rate for each neurotransmitter compared to the average, rates which could themselves be set at any time. Language would become an art, and since the meaning of new words could be communicated through technological telepathy, everyone could create a language entirely of their own.

Balance in Combination

If any aspect of ourselves were unneeded, we wouldn’t have evolved it, and so we should have all aspects in balance, even if they are each other’s opposites.  If we accept all aspects when they come, they will connect and balance each other in themselves. Any extremes can balance each other, no matter how excessive they may be in themselves, for every excess is formed by the lack of its opposite.
When there is imbalance, rather than decreasing the excess we should increase the lacking opposite, so that we can achieve balance through creation rather than destruction. In this way, rather than to decreasing them, balance can increase each opposite, and if in balance, opposites themselves will increase each other.
Because we are never in perfect balance, one opposite will always be somewhat in excess, so that if we decrease the excess, we will always destroy, but if we increase what there is lacking we will always create. Our mind is made up of what it is focused on, so when there is an imbalance in our minds, we shouldn’t even focus on that which is excessive but instead focus on that which is lacking. For all to be in balance there must also be a balance between extremes and moderation.

All opposites are a form of that between empty and full, and as there is no information in either in itself, it exists only on the interface between the two. Their opposition is all they is, for if full were empty and empty full, nothing would be different. As either in itself is nothing, we must always balance opposites, and to find the balance we must try different possibilities between extremes, and to do so we need to be free from limits, for that balance may change.

The energy in our body and mind is made up of waves that flow together into a whole that is one and yet manifold. Each wave has a will of its own, arising from the whole of the mind and in turn affecting it. Once a wave starts, it takes time to stop by itself: it can't be stopped, only changed by an opposing wave which may balance it. Meditation is to synchronize our waves, and to go as fast as a wave of perception, we should go not too fast and not too slow.

Choice and Desire

All that happens in our consciousness is driven by desire, so that we can only do something as much as we desire it. Desires are either connected as choices and separate as impulses. When separate they compete for control, causing imbalance, and when connected they cooperate toward freedom, causing balance. But the unconscious is so complex, that to some degree it contains every possible desire behind our actions, and some are but greater than others, and so many desires affect each other that we can never know how the result would be different if any one of them weren't there. As all there is to us is consciousness, the desire for consciousness is the only one that can connect all others.
As desires are our emotions, the best way to focus, as in meditation, is to let our emotion drive it, as it's what focuses all of our consciousness. Being desires, our emotions are there to fulfill a need, a need for a lack or excess to become balanced; and as long as it's not expressed, the need will keep increasing the emotion until it is expressed, and the earlier it's expressed, the more moderate. Emotion is the flow of our consciousness, and if we accept it, it will carry us, but if we resist it, we will drown.
We must first focus on the desires we have now, for until then we cannot fully focus on what to desire next. As long as something we desire to get done isn't, it'll just stay in our unconscious and keep us from fully focusing on something else, so that with every thing we get done we become better at everything else: when everything is done, there is an emptiness in us that can be filled with new things.

Connection in Consciousness

Consciousness is made of connections, and the more connected the different parts of our consciousness are, the more they balance each other. Acceptance is the connection between parts of our consciousness, which is happiness, and repression is their disconnection, which is suffering, and to meditate is to accept all as part of the whole of our consciousness, so that it can evolve in itself. Even to solve a problem, we must be conscious of it and therefore accept it: even if that problem is our repression itself, lest we also repress the part of us that represses. Distraction is one part being unconsious of another, so that we must accept it when we become conscious of it lest we become distracted again.

To ourselves, all is but part of our consciousness, so that we connect with others through ourselves and to ourselves through others, and once we connect, whatever we do for/to each other we also do for/to ourselves and the other way around: we can only know how to help others towards balance if we are more balanced than them ourselves, and until then we should not try to help them but first help ourselves. All we can do to make someone conscious is to accept them for our part, that they may do the same. But it is only we who can accept ourselves, and this doesn't depend on others accepting us.
We can only connect with someone or something if we accept them and therefore their consciousness: we couldn't connect with gods even if they'd let us, because they'd be conscious of all we wouldn't accept. But who are we to say what's allowed to exist and what isn't? We are all a combination of all aspects of existence, and when we don't accept any one of them in ourselves or others, then we don't accept existence itself. As people change, the only way to truly accept someone is to accept everything they could become, and since we can become anything, we can only do so by accepting all consciousness.

The Meaning of Experience

As any experience can be both enjoyed and suffered, even pain and pleasure itself, they're not so much different kinds of experiences as much as what we call that which we enjoy or suffer. But enjoyment and suffering are just ways our mind reacts to an experience, whether it's attracted to it or repelled from it. When we're enjoying or suffering from an experience, and we look at our consciousness of the experience just as it is in the moment, we will always find that we can’t say just what it is that's so good or bad about that consciousness in and of itself, because there isn't anything: something can only be good or bad for something outside itself, something in the future, so that if the current were all we knew, we would not even know what good or bad even meant.

All experience is of the same kind, in itself neither good nor bad, whether it is in the form of pleasure or pain. We should, therefore, not for its own sake avoid pain or seek pleasure, but rather avoid the problems and seek the opportunities they indicate. If there is any value in any consciousness at all, then there must be equal value in all consciousness, and the meaning of existence is not to achieve a particular kind of consciousness but to be as conscious as possible. The value of an experience is but in how conscious it makes us, and in this any experience is better than none at all.
Consciousness is itself all there is to existence, and it makes no sense to ask what is the value of existence, as whatever it would be for would itself have to be part of existence, and then again we could ask what is its value. As we are always conscious, we have already found what value there is to our existence, and we will not find value of another kind than that which we already have every moment.

If there is a God, God lets the universe be as it is because nothing we experience is in itself right or wrong, and every experience in existence is valuable, and through our own experience we contribute to God’s. If God were to put an end to every experience anyone ever sees as wrong, there would be nothing left of existence.

Constancy of Consciousness

As there is no way to measure consciousness, we can't know if, at any moment, we are more conscious than at any other. The more things we are conscious of, the less conscious we can be of each, so that consciousness may be a constant, and our consciousness isn't greater in amount than that of other animals, but only greater in complexity, and equally lesser in simplicity. If so, then all moments are equal in value and nothing matters.
If once we evolve to omniscience this turns out to be true, then the drive to evolve towards greater complexity will cease, and we will allow ourselves to die, so that our consciousness returns to simplicity. We may have gone infinitely many times through this cycle, through which we experience every possible state of consciousness over and over. This may be the cause behind the Fermi paradox: by the time a species evolves to a point where it can travel to other stars, it may also have evolved to a point where it no longer cares for its own existence.
If this possibility is true, it doesn't even matter if we accept it; but if it is false, then as part of our evolution, we must, as the possibility that all moments are equal in value will make us more conscious of their value.

Two Psychic Drives

There are two ways in which evolution happens: genetic and memetic, the former through connection with an individual and the latter through connection with a collective. The former is driven by sexuality, the latter by spirituality. For connection to be created by libido, separation must first be destroyed by destrado, and because in sexuality more connection is created with the individual, and in spirituality there are more individuals with whom separation is destroyed, sexuality is driven more libido and spirituality more by destrado.
Because men evolved to connect with larger groups and women to connect with smaller groups, men have more spiritual energy and women more sexual energy. However, it's mostly men that destroy the separation before a sexual connection begins, and mostly women that create the connection after spiritual separation ends. Once a spiritual connection is fully created with the world, it becomes a connection with its individuals, and when a connection with an individual is fully created, it becomes a connection with their world.
While psychic energy may be transferred between sexual and spiritual, the amount of psychic energy in the mind is not a constant, and how much of each we have depends not on how we transfer it between one and the other but on how well they are in balance. Because both sexuality and spirituality are both connection, the can be united into one connection with the whole of our consciousness. The Romantics and Taoists both achieved this unification of spirituality and sexuality, in which the lover becomes a personification of the universe and the other way around.

Autism vs Schizotypy

Asperger is caused by increased glutamate ¹ and schizotypy by decreased glutamate ² they are each other's opposite, but they often both get the same diagnosis because the symptoms are similar. Glutamate strengthens old connections between neurons, affecting dopamine differently in each brain area so as to cause the former to focus more on old connections and the latter more on new connections. ³ As they do, the former makes less connections between different parts of the brain ⁴ and the latter too little connection within each part, causing the former's brain waves to separate across the brain into faster, smaller ones and the latter's to connect into slower, larger ones. The former only works well for rationality, the latter only for intuition. We need both intuition to know what our needs are and reason to know how to fulfill them, so that both have similar problems with self-care.
Because they're made based on generic symptoms, autism diagnoses have increased fiftyfold ⁵ to include other "autism spectrum disorders" which are actually very different. Asperger and schizotypy are different forms of neuroplasticity, while autism is simply neurodegeneration. So while vaccines don't increase the chance of autism spectrum disorders,  ⁶ it may still cause a rare, autoimmune type of autism, as found by one study that excluded other autism spectrum disorders. ⁷ 416 out of 437 studies found a correlation between autoimmunity and autism. ⁸ If the former causes the latter, genetic analysis before vaccination could be used both to prevent autoimmunity and to increase vaccination.

Immortal Love

A relationship takes both involvement ¹ and space; ² closeness and distance, so that we are neither too close nor too far to fully see the other. These two opposites which can only be balanced by accepting what we desire so that we can express them. Like any feeling, love comes and goes, and only exists in the moments in which it is felt. Love is a connection between our consciousnesses, and as our consciousness changes all the time, so does who we can connect with. As we are all but consciousness and it can turn into anything, to truly love anyone, and therefore to love anything they can become, is to love everyone.
The only limit to how many people one can love is time, but there are many other things that take up time as well, such as work, and as work is increasingly automated there is more time for love, so that the limit on a relationship is now desire rather than time. Jealousy is desire caused by empathy, and can therefore keep the desire in a relationship high. Like all emotions, it's neither good nor bad in itself, and only causes suffering when it is repressed, but jealousy is so intense that it usually is, and when it isn't expressed, the suffering it causes can only be removed by removing the cause.
The only difference between open and closed relationships is not in quality ^3 4 but in quantity: when either finds a better match (and who's first to be found is only up to chance), in the latter one of them has to end, while in the former both can last, so that open relationships are actually more lasting than closed relationships. The longer people live, the more this occurs, and once we are immortal, relationships will only last if open.

Infinite Consciousness

If existence is infinite, anything that can evolve will, and so there must always have been beings infinitely more evolved than ourselves. Over an infinite amount of time, they could've come to us, and the only way they wouldn't is if none of them want to leave their species because by then they've all become telepathic group minds, so that leaving them would be like leaving oneself. However, they could be with their species anywhere through telepathy, unless their communication would always be limited by a physical constant (e.g. light speed).
But because physical constants are fine-tuned for life, ours must've been naturally selected from among many other varieties, so that physical constants must be changeable in a universe's earliest stage. By reproducing this stage, we could change these physical constants again, and over an infinite amount of time and space, someone would've found a way to do so to increase the highest possible speed of communication.
Over an infinite amount of time they must've come to us, but they choose not to show themselves because whatever new information we can come up with ourselves is just as valuable to them. Anything that creates information on its own must have a consciousness of its own, and only within them can all our information become one. If all energy has some consciousness, they'd have to make all energy part of them to make all consciousness one, and if they were to do so, there would be no universe left to be conscious of.
They cannot give anything to us, but whatever we do, we are always giving to them just by existing, far more than we can ever give each other or ourselves. Just by knowing they are there, perhaps in everything and everyone (e.g. as nano/pico/femtorobots), we can feel connected to them and through them, to everything and everyone else.

Basis for Infinitarian Community

In theory, it is simple enough that we should be free to do anything as long as it allows others the same, but in practice, this is quite complex. When people connect, they are no longer separate beings, and one's freedom depends on the others', so that if someone limits themselves ("I don't want to know") they also limit those connected to them, yet to break those limits may also limit their freedom to focus on something else. We should then do whatever will limit them the least, and this is impossible to determine by rules. This is a balance and so can't be forced one way or the other: we'll therefore make mistakes trying to achieve it, as to evolve is to be imperfect. Rules are an attempt to be perfect, to never be mistaken, and therefore, any infinitarian community cannot be based on rules and must be based on friendship, as friends know each other well enough to find that balance. Because everyone can decide for themselves what they find limiting, voting people out will leave only the most limited people who form the majority until the community becomes about allowing everyone's limitations rather than breaking them. In the common rooms, anything should be allowed to be expressed and when someone feels there's an imbalance, it's up to them to either leave, or try to balance it by expressing themselves in turn.

Quantum Thermodynamic Hypothesis

Postulate: All natural laws are the result of the lawless interactions of its particles.
Since all matter can be turned into energy as photons, all matter is made up either of photons or smaller particles which photons are made of. As photons have no mass, mass is just the amount of particles, and energy is just their speed, so that particles can only get their speed from other particles, which is why matter cannot go faster than the photons it is made of.

The closer matter is to light speed, the more its photons move along the direction of movement so that their paths are parallel and do not cross. As photons are force carriers, this reduces the particles’ interaction with each other so as to cause length contraction and time dilation: space and time are both caused by movement of matter, and it's not time and space that contract and expand, but matter. Because this changes the density of matter, it could be that what seem like gravity waves are just a much slower aftershock, and that they themselves are too fast to be detected.

A particle can act as a wave not because it’s at many places at once but because it’s made up of many smaller particles each in just one place. These smaller particles form a wave by their own force on each other, through which they all get the same speed (for the speed of light this occurred throughout the early universe). Particles of the same wave, including photons, interact by a force carrier faster than themselves (if relativity is caused by matter being made of photons, it does not apply below the photon level). As forces therefore act between all particles, any particle will align to magnetic fields (causing polarization), so that entanglement is just an artifact.

Particles cause waves in the vacuum energy around them, leaving troughs/crests in it which absorb/emit energy from other particles, which is how particles can interfere destructively as well as constructively. Forces carried by particles are formed by the positive and negative pressure of the waves they make up, identical pressures causing repulsion and opposite pressures causing attraction. All forces were once one because all matter was made up of the same particles, a few of which later came together into larger particles. In black holes all particles move in one vortex ring, which is how photons in a black hole (or whatever became of them) can retain their speed inside the black hole. Gravity causes time dilation because it converts particles' external into internal movement.

Smaller particles form larger particles when negative and positive pressures in smaller particles form a cycle, much as in convection. In this cycle the larger particles keep absorbing smaller particles into their center and emitting them into their periphery in a vortex ring. These particles cause force fields by passing through objects around them. Net absorption causes attraction, net emission causes repulsion. Once a particle has absorbed or emitted enough, it decays.

The smaller the force carrier, the less force is in each, but the more there are and so the farther their wave can go. All matter is affected by gravity, including photons, so that gravitons must be the smallest particles making up all other matter, including photons. Dark matter is not affected by electromagnetism, so that it must be made of sub-photonic particles such as gravitons. Matter having a net negative pressure relative to dark energy would cause an accelerated expansion of the universe.

Because larger particles emit smaller particles on one side and absorb them on the other, if they move very close they need to move in opposite directions in order to attract rather than repel each other. This is why electrons in electron bands have opposite spin. When larger particles forced in place emit waves of smaller particles, the waves resonate, forcing them into atomic shells, similar to cymatic patterns. In the same way, a wave of particles can also force some of their particles against the other wave, which is tunneling. Low frequencies have more force per wavelength, so that they tunnel more through other waves than high frequencies, which refract more.

Vanity and Love

Vanity is the need to be loved, which can take on the form of shame as the sadness of not being loved, and conceit as the anger at not being loved. We only depend on the love of others when we do not love ourselves, so that pride is actually the opposite of vanity. Our society is based on vanity because of a lack of love, which, once there, was passed on through the generations because vanity leads to seductiveness, while pride leads to genuineness: the former is more likely to lead to offspring, but often gets them raised with the same lack of self-love. In almost every dysfunctional family, at least one of the parents remained with the other not because they loved them but because they needed to be loved.

Climate Moderatism

The decrease in heat waves into space ¹ of the kind absorbed by greenhouse gases) is conclusive proof of a greenhouse effect, equal to a net 1,5 W/m² (3 W/m² from warming gases minus 1,5W/m² from cooling gases, ² which caused cooling in the Cold War era). Since the earth gets its average 288 K temperature from the average 240 W/m² absorbed from the sun ³ (geothermal heat flow <0,1 W/m²), this extra 1,5W/m² causes a net increase of 1,8 K (1,8 C, 3,2 F).

This was the average temperature throughout most of the Miocene over 2 million years ago, ⁴ and runaway feedback only began at 1,000 ppm of CO₂ in the PETM. ²¹ However, because of habitat fragmentation, many species may not be able to adapt to climate change the way they have before, and unlike animals, humans cannot easily relocate. Even relatively small climate changes have caused destruction of civilisations, including the desertification of the Sahara 6000 years ago. ⁵
Every climate is created by a chaotic system of air/water currents in which even small global changes can cause large local effects. Warming happens more towards the poles than the equators, ² and the reduced difference between the two moves precipitation fronts towards the seas ⁶ and the poles, * ²² causing more extreme weather. ¹⁷ (* Hence Antarctica is gaining ice. ²³)
Not all data are correct, ¹⁵ but comparing all the data gives a compelling image. ^{16 18} However, with most desertification caused by farming ⁷ and over 34% of all forest destroyed, ⁸ global warming may not be our greatest environmental concern, and with 7 million deaths caused by air pollution per year, ⁹ perhaps not even our greatest environmental concern about fossil fuels. But fossil fuel taxes are nothing new, and those taxes can go to subsidies for renewable energy for those who can't afford either. The <1 mm sea level rise ¹⁰ would not be enough to flood our cities in centuries ¹¹ and glacier river sources can be replaced with reservoirs.

Half of all manmade greenhouse gases are reabsorbed ¹⁹, and once we use mostly renewable energy (in the early 2030s ²⁰), the rest can be absorbed by the increasing plankton, though it may also poison the seas. But with the extinction rate up to 10.000 normal, ¹² 83% of all land damaged ¹³ and 97% of land vertebrate biomass made up of humans’ and domesticated animals’, ¹⁴ it’s clear that humans can and are affecting an entire planet on a very large scale, and climate change is only part of that.
Renewable energy, like all technologies, grows exponentially through a bandwagon effect, and this will take a certain amount of time, but until then, we can't save enough on emissions in each sector without shutting them down, as people need to use a certain amount of energy no matter how much it is taxed. To really make a difference in climate change, we have to rethink our society.
In developed countries, this could be done by requiring people to work from home whenever possible, since commuting and offices are the largest part of the emissions we can cut. However, employers will never do this because it would make them lose much of their authority, and our governments lack the authority to make them do this. By the time people begin to work from home on their own, almost all energy will already be renewable. There is no way to reduce carbon sources enough to make a difference because the economy is too powerful to let itself be slowed down by governments, so instead we must seek to increase carbon sinks such as forests.
Because they are not yet developed, developing countries can more easily be changed by governments, and while they have less emissions the less developed they are, they can be turned into a carbon sink by requiring their cash crops to be shadow-grown (coffee, tobacco, tea, cocoa) in forests, which will retain not only carbon but also moisture, preventing them from turning into deserts through the climate change that is certain to occur. Many of these countries cannot develop in the same way temperate countries have without causing droughts, and due to their different climate, they must be forestry-based rather than field-based, which is the only way they can grow economically and ecologically. Therefore, the best way to reduce climate change may be to tax sun-grown cash crops and use those taxes to subsidise shadow-grown cash crops. These are far more likely to pass through Congress than further taxes on energy as the right wing is more likely to agree to them, so that the left wing should focus on increasing carbon sinks rather than decreasing carbon sources.
