But why waste time discussing politics, climate change, etc. when we can't change anything anyway?

Isn't it better to discuss wine and food and holidays and enjoy the little time we have together? Isn't that actually the most intelligent thing to do?



Some people find discussing politics and climate change rewarding in itself, and so it isn't a waste of time for them.


I find people who "find discussing politics and climate change rewarding in itself" usually just like pontificating and having others agree


And maybe some of those people will get to change something about politics and climate, too. I mean, who else.


"Don't Look Up" touches on this exact sentiment.
