I loved that video. I’m sure there are reasons, but how is it conspirational?
Because they purposefully hid the effects. I know this is the “conspiracy” community but feel free to post anything that deals with propaganda, artificial narratives, corruption, etc… I’ll update the sidebar.
It doesn’t seem at all accidental given that risks of using lead were well known at the time. This is a perfect example of market incentives being completely at odds with what’s actually good for humanity. The climate crisis that’s current unfolding is another example of that.
True, the title is misleading.

A company being greedy is one thing, but a company being greedy and programming people to automatically shutdown dissenting arguments is another. If humanity wipes itself out then maybe we didn’t belong here in the first place.
Political: I have a theory that some of the big oil fans are going to suddenly love electric vehicles now that Elon is buying Twitter.
I don’t think it was inevitable that humanity had to go down the path it did. There is a reciprocal relationship between the individual and the society. We act differently depending on how we structure our society, and our collective actions drive the evolution of our society.
One of the core problems with structuring the society around capitalism is that capitalism inherently encourages egoism. People see their own interest as being at odds with the interests of others, and people who act selfishly are rewarded by the system.
I think we need to structure our society in a way where people see their individual interests aligned with the interests of the majority leading to cooperative behaviours towards common good.

That’s not inherent to capitalism, humans are greedy no matter the system.

Yeah, same point here, humans are greedy. If you mentally drill down to the core problem (greed) and to the core solutions you’ll probably come up with either 1. annihilation of all humans (no more greed, no more suffering, etc…) or genetic engineering.

My point was that it’s possible to have a system where personal interest aligns with common interest. The problem with capitalism is that it creates conditions where personal interest is at odds with that.
Humans can be greedy, but you can create an environment where that’s channelled productively.
