It’s called Indulgence and it’s a way for westerners with a disproportionate share of guilt for the world’s crises to pay their sins away. The carbon sequestration tech will be utilized to offset an end user’s footprint on a subscription model. Previous firms have attempted to give users a full absolvement of sins with a single use. And of course, people just continued their behavior and would always have to come back, but under the subscription model, people establish habits and feel a real sense of progress towards absolution without getting stuck in a cycle of guilt (and still without changing any of their habits).

The carbon sequestration technology itself is absolutely cutting edge and is backed by the most promising cutting edge scientific consensus. The idea is that we kill Bolsonaro and restore the Amazon. And give the indigenous people of Brazil First strike capability to protect their sovereignty and make sure no one else fucks with the rainforest.

I think it’s gonna get a lot of investors once they realize what a huge opportunity this is to stabilize long term growth.

    I legitimately think you could grift some start-up funding with the first half of this.

      That sounds fun. But doesn’t that make you legally responsible to like… not blow the money?

        well, yes but actually no.

        (Basically, capitalism allows for all sorts of legal grifting, so it just comes down to whether you do a legal vs illegal type of grift.)

          Hmmm. Maybe it’s tech bro time :ancap-good:

          Just make it socialized production for carbon sequestration. Uber for climate justice.
