< I'm thinking of an infallible IQ test, and its name is "recyclable bin"
Some people will defend it and say "well they all go to same land fill anyway!" and they're right (for the moment only), but it's also just hard to blink past their "not my problem" attitude. We *will* get better at recycling tech, and when we do, it can only be of benefit to the world (that we all collectively inhabit...!) when the trash is pre-sorted.
Looking back at the varieties of "eternal septembers" I've endured over the decades, forgive me if I'm a wee bit too jaded to embrace the word 'we' when it comes to species progress. My experience has been more like:
1) A few intelligent people invent and mutually enjoy an amazing thing.
2) Hoards of morons arrive to entropy (as a verb) it into a cracked, faded, often miserable husk of what it was when mostly intelligence populated.
