Thank you for this. It makes such obvious sense that there should be a “price” for “progress” and for *astonishing* progress like we’ve seen in the past century, a high price indeed... or it *would* be obvious, but we are accustomed to dismissing “externalities” and pretending our modern marvels come for free, or for just the purchase price at market. But someone somewhere is paying our bill, maybe with their life
