They will (maybe) begin to understand this is not a way forward when we no longer have clean water in more suburbs. It’s already scarce. There is no tech that will address that without causing huge harm at the same time. Abundance is waste and we will suffocate in it.
If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.
