> then you are still MASSIVELY reducing your total energy.
Instead of using all those caps, look at the numbers: we have them. We use more and more energy.
> but that's just wildly, almost unfathomably, less efficient.
Not sure if you really need the hint, but you shouldn't spend more time flying around the world.
> It's almost certainly a lot less than how much energy I spend using Google.
It is a fact that it isn't. Before Google, people were using less energy than we are now, period.
> Probably something that requires more energy than close to nothing looking at memes on your phone.
The industry that gets you your memes on the hardware you call phone is anything but "close to nothing" when it comes to energy. I would say that you are in bad faith, but with all those examples you've giving, it seems like you are just uninformed.
So let me be blunt: your kids will most likely die because of how much energy we use (from one of the plethora of problems coming from that). At this point, we cannot do much about it, but the very least would be to be aware of it.
