That other people have different value structures does not mean the species is doomed. Most people are cognitively lazy. They think with their pocketbooks and social identities, short term. Alternative transportation technologies don't provide the convenience or social invisibility that petrol does.
This war in Ukraine (and attending petrol price increases) will do more for bikes and bike infrastructure than all the advocacy that environmentalists have put forward.
If you want to solve overpopulation, fossil fuels, and technology (the predicates of all the biocide), create more wars. If you want to solve
environmental unraveling and simplification, create more wars. If you want evolutionary pressure towards more a more peaceful species, create more wars.
The empire long united, must divide. Long divided, must unite. Thus has it ever been.
