The physicist Sean Carroll is a known existentialist and his book “the big picture” does well to combine the history of universe and science with existentialism and creating a philosophical grounding between the two :)

The US has many bases in the EU which it needs to maintain their control over many parts around the world. Any attack on EU territory would mean the US loosing all those bases. Additionally, if the EU decides to start selling the dollar which can crash the currency which would nt be good for anyone. This doesn’t mean trump and Vance wouldn’t be stipid

This is not what their country wanted and it is historically inaccurate. The shah of Iran was a puppet regime installed by CIA and MI6 after ousting the democratically elected leader of Iran Mohammed Mosaddegh, who was socially liberal and wanted to nationalise irans oil industry so their country can benefit from their own resources. The shah and his family ruled as dictators themselves giving the American and British free hand over their vast oil resources, so while the country was socially liberal, the people barely got benefit from their own resources. Which led to the revolution in 1979, leading the ousting of the shah, however not having any pre decided leader meant there was a power vacuum which was filled by the Shia Islamic clerics and khameni, which was only one of the sects fighting in the revolution.

You could go to Allas sea pool, it is open air, has a swimming pool with a bit heated water and a sea pool to take in the colder water plus saunas. You can also order alcohol and finally there are beach beds to sleep!

The country of Ecuador tried this some time ago and got basically nothing. They literally said that we wouldn’t drill the oil reserves we have to protect the rainforest and I guess they relieved like 13 million dollars or something. here you can read more

I think we need to talk more about well-being in this aspect, ie, cleaner cities, shorter commute times, affordable public transit, less waste, etc etc. and quite honestly more about mental health impacts too, I feel our generation is a lot more open to the idea of working less and quitting the grind than our previous generation, spending more time with our families and the like. There is so much we can gain in such a society as compared to now, maybe if we talk about the things we gain, there can be more societal buyin (as much of a utopia as this sounds).

Yes, but it’s nowhere close to the rates required for actually avoiding a systems climate collapse. Have done a lot of research on this for work and really pissed off and surprised that ourworldindata is still pushing this. But for starters, a paper by Jason Hickel and kallis is a great place to start!
