The Dalai Lama prided himself on meticulously turning off the lights in his hotel room, recognizing that it was a minimal but valid contribution to energy containment. The behavior of the millions of people executing this global strategy is admirable as long as it is not seen as a solution to the civilization of extremism that is suffocating the planet. It is reassuring to imagine that a homogeneous behavior in pursuit of savings would reverse the runaway trends synthesized in global warming. Also, the false security we have learned to confuse with the pandemic has the opposite effect and worsens the initial situation.
To heal itself, the world needs such a distaste for the scientific order and such that the gestures of the Dalai Lama and his millions of followers become insignificant. In the current situation, everything is useful to the extent that we value one more day, but not everything is enough. Small contributions move us, we admire them, and make them shine as if they were no longer just a death rattle, but an exaltation of human quality. We are drifting towards the belief that an animal capable of such efforts does not deserve punishment for a collective failure. And we are wasting precious time confusing what is necessary with what is sufficient.
It is wrong to say that the planet has a cure because it uses the third person. Not only are we at the limit of our survival as a species, but we are an integral part of the group of creatures to be rescued. The spontaneous but illusory paths faced with this huge task mean a high energy expenditure and do not lead to the exit of the maze. There is definitely a need for a titanic and cruel figure of Elon Musk who transforms the basic assumption of nature with a new law, albeit on the pretext of being rich. The arrogance of proposing to bend climate change as if it were a pet is tantamount to guaranteeing human immortality. Everything works, but everything is not enough.
