I dream very often of being someone else. No limits on sex, sexuality or age. Not too long ago I dreamt I was a young, bisexual man with bear-like proportions, though the sexual relations were an afterthought in a highly weird story about survival.
I am a middle aged woman, but shit it felt good in the morning to feel that strong.
PS2, you never forget your first love.
I was merely implying that I am not in the position to verify whether these are true or not, but domestic demand for goods in China dropped significantly during and after covid. The reason for this is highly speculated. China has also been reporting bloated population numbers, which cannot be true with the historical fertily numbers.
There has been rumours, that the chinese population has declined by hundreds of millions during covid. This also could be a contributing fact to the decline of domestic demand.
I have no hope, that the system will change in time for us or those who come after us; humans and other walks of life. But I still do things and make choices, that mitigate my impact on the planet. Not because I think I can steer us away from this path, but because it is the right thing to do. I am morally obligated to do it even if the result does not change and I take a weak solace in that fact. And of course it always matters whether we hit 3, 4, 5 or 8 degrees above pre-industrial mean to other evolutions of life.
