 Yeah, it's what? It's 43, 53, I wish it was 43, I'd be 10 years younger. It's 53 years since the first Earth Day. Tomorrow is the official Earth Day, 22nd of April. The first Earth Day was in 1970. It basically, I would say, launched kind of the, I don't know, the mainstreaming of the environmental movement. It launched kind of the real successful era for the environmentalist movement in terms of government regulations, almost all government regulations, at least the initial ones, that are on the books today were passed in the years immediately after the first Earth Day, basically, all under Richard Nixon, a Republican, a number of major regulatory bills were passed to this day, including the Clean Air and Clean Water Act. Of course, another big piece of environmental regulations was passed under Bush. So indeed, most, I'd say, most overwhelming majority of the big environmentalist bills have been passed under Republican watch. It's, you have to, in commemorating the 53rd anniversary of Earth Day, I think for us, what we need to recognize is that the environmentalists won. They won big time. Environmentalism is no longer a question mark. It's no longer considered a radical ideology. It's not considered a controversial ideology. Pretty much everybody is an environmentalist. They've managed to equate and do a very good job creating this package deal and equating environmentalism with clean air and clean water, something that all Americans do and should care about. But even when it comes to, I don't know, some little worm or some environmental inspections that take seven years in order to build a new highway or just shutting down nuclear power plants or other aspects of the energy sector, it has just become standard that everybody agrees with this to some extent. Maybe the approaches, some of them are nutty, some of them extreme, but generally, I mean, who's against the environment? I mean, we even talk about the environment as if there is such a thing. Who's environment, human environment, the spotted hours environment, the worms environment, we just treat it as their environment. And we buy into the idea that their environment is really a human environment. But that's not what the real environmentalists care about. But they've won that debate. They basically convinced us that they are the benefactors and the preservers and the guardians of human life and human prosperity and clean air and clean water. And in every respect, they won the day. There's no opposition to it. It's not like the Republicans are anti-environmentalists. No, they have a soft approach to the environment, but they're still environmentalists. All of them embrace that label and embrace the ideas. So it's sad. The left basically has managed to take this idea of the intrinsic value of nature, the intrinsic value of stuff out there outside of human beings and make that a standard that pretty much everybody in our culture accepts. And there's almost nobody that fights against that and tries to segregate out the things that we truly should care about, clean air, clean water, real pollution, and all the things that we should not, and all the overreactions and all the precautionary principle that basically says that if you can't prove that something's only going to be good, that there's no risk, you shouldn't do it. And the whole baggage of the environmentalist movement that basically has always, always advocated for the sacrifice of man, for the sacrifice of human well-being, for the sacrifice of progress and technology, for the sake of nature. And yeah, you know, that battle continues. That battle continues. But you go out there and you talk to people, and this one is almost impossible to talk about because it's sowing green in it. Now, Alex Epstein is fighting against this in one dimension of it, but I don't think he's, and he's trying to reframe the debate around it in terms of human flourishing. But the reality is that even Alex, while he's had significant impact in some areas and certainly significant impact within the industry and among some politicians, the impact does not be that broad as to being into question the whole legitimacy of the environmentalist movement, the whole legitimacy of an Earth Day. That is still far in our future if we want to challenge those things. But it's sad and tragic. And one of the things that many of us have to really think about is why we're losing and how come we haven't been more successful in challenging this. on any one of those channels.
