I put this video there but we can choose dozens of others.

There are actually still a lot of people working at this time

Please ALSO applaud the cashiers (for a salary of m ..) and all the staff of the small or large food distribution who work every day to allow us to eat.
Thank you also for applauding the garage owners who allow us not to remain in a black galley in the event of a single vehicle breakdown.
Thank you also for applauding the employees of the banks who work every day and continue to feed the ATMs, which receive professionals in a panic, and individuals and who around April 6 will allow thousands of beneficiaries to withdraw their allowances by making them minute cards.
Please ALSO applaud the road transporters who transport the goods from the production points to the consumption points.
Thank you also for applauding the pharmacists, the farmers who produce (or throw it away depending on) the vegetables that we don't buy enough because we stuff ourselves like idiots of non-perishable foodstuffs instead of buying good vegetables.
Please also applaud the journalists who go out in the field and who keep us informed.
Please ALSO applaud all security personnel who ensure that the situation does not escalate into the wild west
Please ALSO applaud all teachers (and who are not paid as directors of multinationals) or childcare workers requisitioned to babysit the children of caregivers
and Thank you ALSO for applauding all those who work for the common good and who are forgotten

Basically you have to applaud people doing useful work for society ...
And if we considered them at the bottom with decent working conditions and wages? Just saying...

I believe that this is obvious even if I did not mention it for all but only for a few.

That said, not everyone is in the same boat either in this small, non-exhaustive list.

Should we applaud those who applaud?

In Germany we pay carers decently, in France we applaud them.

In Germany we pay carers decently, in France we applaud them

yes, but clapping your hands improves blood circulation

Ecology has no essence, so this objection falls flat ... But it is ready to have one, which will be the one we want to give it and, of course, hence the danger that it does not see itself decked out with the content that generated it by reaction.
The religious aspect is consubstantial with the human, I therefore do not reject it and it is present, whether the reference is a hypostatic nature or whether the deified and omnipotent human of transhumanism ...

Neither does Christianity have an essence, God is an idea created by man frightened by his death, like the idea of ​​a Nature which would provide for everything, which we would have wrongfully degraded, and which it should be revered, is one of the green.
The religious aspect which would be consubstantial with the human being is only a cognitive bias linked to human evolution. Paying attention to the signs that nature sends us was a condition of survival (clouds announcing a storm, noise announcing a wild animal ...), by extension man began to look for meaning in these signs, he has come to animism and one thing leading to another to the gods. The catho KTO channel even calls itself the channel of "meaning seekers", as if any event had to be the result of an intention. Today many people are atheists and yet they are human, so your consubstantiality takes a serious hit.
You tackled transhumanism. There is a big difference between transhumanism and environmentalism: as much as between spirituality and religion. Transhumanism demands nothing from others, those who practice it do not demand laws in their favor, neither blame the rest of humans for not swearing allegiance to their theses, nor ask others to live by their principles. them. It is the complete opposite of ecologism, which intends to impose a new behavior on men, a new morality, new dogmas, in the name of a defiant nature.

Neither does Christianity have an essence, God is an idea created by man frightened by his death ...

And science is just one of the many extensions, which spawned eugenics and now that it has become a dirty word, transhumanism.

Another Pavlovian reflex.

Another Pavlovian reflex.

It's so practical. Does your family know who you really are or are you hiding behind a polished polish?

(...) Nature is beautiful and clear, and man has screwed everything up. Reheating ? his fault, and his punishment! Pollution ? his fault, and his punishment!

There is no nature and man, there is only nature of which the human being is a part, a nuance.

Yes, but it still depends on the point of view in which we place ourselves. Man is an animal species, an integral part of nature, I agree.
But the notion of artificial recognized by our own species, means resulting from human creation, and this artificial is generally opposed to natural, which comes from nature human not understood.
This artificial / natural opposition is one of the spearheads of environmentalism (organic food would be better for health because more natural, medecine by plants being natural would improve health, etc etc).
We never see environmentalism saying that man is nature, and that what he does is natural because it is in his nature as man. Environmentalism opposes man and nature, and even condemns him in the name of a nature which would be better without his actions.

Global warming is not the fault of man, it is a consequence of the determinisms which we ignore and which act through us.
Pollution exists only in a subjectivist point of view, in reality we do not pollute the planet, we transform it into something else.
It is our ignorance of physical principles and their large-scale entanglement that causes our misfortunes.

What misfortunes? On the contrary, by succeeding in making more than 7 billion people live on earth, by passing the human lifespan from 40 years to 80 in 2 centuries, and by succeeding in reducing poverty in the world, our exploitation of nature has shown all its interest.
