Wow!
Great article!
I am glad you decided to invest some time on your own article on top of the magazine. The magazine is really valuable but this is a treat.
I have SO much I could say on this post, many articles worth.
First off "Hype is a HUGE deal. Almost ALL advertising is either utilizing or trying to utilize hype. Even people marketing them selfs for a garage sale are trying to use hype.
We live in a world with a lot of misunderstanding, manipulation, propaganda, and just delusional understanding of how things REALLY work.
For example, "sustainability" is very important, yet for the most part "un comprehended" .
There are really very few things going on in this world that are sustainable. Its more like what is less horrible.
As you said its important we move in a direction of more sustainable but the tesla vehicle is not even close to sustainable.
An even more horrible example is the use of ethanol to add to petroleum. It is far more costly to grow food and make it into fuel that to just suck it out of the ground. It was a total scam as most things are, to divide and conquer, putting more money in elites pockets.
Most importantly in conclusion what I want to say is that we have more than enough of everything here, and if we were to simply live consciously and responsibly our planet would be thriving far more than it is now even with another 10 billion people.
I am already aware of the technologies and methods needed to be able to live as an abundant world society, yet the matrix is perpetuating unsustainable, lack based control mechanisms.
I live by the general predisposition of "question everything" this is especially important with any government, religion, or corporation~*~
