If you don’t understand basic facts about the problem, you’re unlikely to come up with a useful solution, part eleventy billion. Thinking outside the box is more effective if you know where the boundaries of the box are and why they’re there. https://twitter.com/dwnews/status/1355502020426412032
And for the billionth time: if your reaction to experts criticizing an obviously flawed “solution” that will do more harm than good is to say “at least they’re trying something,” consider just, like, shutting up and going away?
Doing something that makes the problem worse is not better than doing nothing? Doing something that wastes resources without solving the problem is not better than doing nothing? “At least they’re doing something” is the argument of a child.
