Thanks for this excellent commentary on the dark skies approach of Trump/Musk that excuses cruelty by privileging efficiency. We who are old, or in my case, 'ancient,' are not necessarily less efficient than when younger. but most of us are kinder, and that is a core quality that if nurtured could make humanity flourish. As Jeremy Rifkin efficiency is the ecological adversary of resilience, which is the unacknowledged imperative of our time if species wellbeing is a promariy concern. Incidentalally, one of my pre-Musk conceits is that I was never efficient! Appreciative greetings to you, Peggy, from Richard [Falk]
