Why do I feel like this is the long sell toward the new Anarchists party?
Alright so what you're saying is, given the environmental concerns, people don't really have a choice.
If that's the case, you should tell us when it ends. If you're suggesting we don't have the choice as to whether or not we go to work, what about hanging out with friends?
Do we not have a choice there? Do we have free will at certain points but not others. Where do the illusions end? If they never end, why would I blow off certain people one day but not another? If the illusions do end, what accounts for our ability to lose free will?

It's a similar line of thinking.

Plants have intelligence? What the hell does that mean?
