We don’t have a climate change problem, we have a thinking problem

Misidentification of Problem

SeeRaymond Oliver Dreher Jr.

Identifying the Enemy Is the First Step in Winning the War
[Americans] have been propagandized into a climate of polarization and hate by those in power, while they might better find common ground and unite against their real enemy, which they have not yet identified.
The two-party system promotes and maintains the political division. It is interesting that, while enriching themselves through insider trading, both parties have no problem agreeing to spend billions on the war machine, and raising the military budget every year.
Yet they cannot agree on establishing any meaningful programs that would relieve the fleecing of Americans by corporate giants or help curtail the destruction caused by climate change.
While most Americans experience increasing poverty, growing debt, and decline in the standard of living, the right wing of the political spectrum blames the left, and the left wing blames the right.

Lookin' For Love (in all the wrong places) - lyrics
Looking for answers in all the wrong places . . .
Why you can’t blame mass incarceration on the war on drugs

Grey Matters - Living inside the head
   Grey matter matters
   But reactionary black-white thinking doesn't think grey matters
Thinking with emotions
Knee-jerk reaction as if rational
Critical thinking skills lacking
Logical fallacies unawareness
Lateral thinking unawareness - Bono: Six Thinking Hats
   The most pressing problem today is not global warming, it's thinking inability

Thick As A Brick - lyrics
How Jethro Tull Tried to 'Out-Prog' Everybody with 'Thick As A Brick'
...My words but a whisper your deafness a shout
I may make you feel but I can't make you think...
Your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
The tidal destruction, the moral melee
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
Your suntan does rapidly peel and
Your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick...
Spin me back down the years
And the days of my youth
Draw the lace and black curtains
And shut out the whole truth...
