If individuals changed, corporations would be forced to change (or would die) since they would no longer be profitable. It needs to be both at the same time.

That doesn't negate the positive moral implication of making a pleasant comfortable life while consuming less.

Business as usual for individuals means business as usual for corporations.

Ah, I get you ... yes that's a fair point. In Europe we don't have so many SUVs

It's saying most of those who don't care about animals on the road drive SUVs, not that most SUV drivers don't care about animals.

OK, I'll go all-in on this:

2000 AD Comics' Nexus, The computer game.

Made for the Commodore C128 computer (which oddly ran Microsoft Basic), it was a simple single-screen platform shooter with the twist that you could pile up the bodies of your enemies and use them as platforms.

Both are needed, corporations must be held account able and individuals need to make changes to how they live ... I don't believe either will actually happen, but that doesn't mean that the morality of choices over resource use suddenly get inverted just because of a bad case of nihilism.

With models, for me it's not about immersion but rather some fascination with having little versions of real things ... I don't know why, and I especially don't understand why making models of anything is 99.9% a men's hobby :-/

What is this a computer for ants? It should be at least ... four times bigger.

That sort of thing, but with little trucks, diggers, forklifts, and tractors all by radio control ... I guess I never understood the appeal of train sets whereas driving a little truck around looks like fun

If you want to check out something related, wierd, and interesting check out German radio controlled truck conventions ... lots of people go together and drive their RC stuff in a sensible realistic manner. I find it adorable.
