I don't know that "objectivity" is necessarily a useful goal, if only because so often (especially w/ how the north is "managed") it boils down to "what's best for the people who are extracting money from these places," and to hell with that. The goal should be to take care of the people and the environment, and to enact some kind of justice. It makes me angry too.

I'm from Dryden. There's so much shitty stuff around that. Like, the community was told in the '70s & '80s that a cleanup had happened (there was no cleanup, which wasn't known by the town until many years later), and then a few years ago it was revealed that management had known about even more dumping. It was just a colossal failure of humanity on all levels; business, government, etc.

A forum I'm on has a "stupid ideas" thread, in which people talk about passion projects they doubt they'll ever realize because they are, typically, labour and capital intensive with virtually no hope of generating a reasonable income, or even any income at all. Pretty much all of them involve making art, food, labour, care, and space available to the public in a thoughtful way. None of them are about phones, computers, or "tech." The world needs these stupid ideas.

I'm on both Mastodon & Bluesky, and the thing I've learned is that affordances matter more—a lot more—than the ideological foundations of a network, even to scientists.
