governments need influence, and yellow the truth,so as to manage the overall situation, thats a first assumption.

now we see a lot of actions that in the end seemlike footgunning, basically derailing the foundations of civilization.

perhaps this is not megalomania, greed, or sickness.

perhaps, as is often portrayed in popular scifi, we are all doomed to face a terrible challange, there are only few very closed mouth individuals that absolutely know. [remember this is a fringe conspiracy hypothesis]

we are being distracted and kept on the dark about impending catastrophe,so as to stave off absolute chaos,little hope of influencing anyone except by overwhelming show of force. perhaps "they" know its a matter of years, not decades until we experience that thing that suddenly, seemingly cyclically clears the board and the whole assembly begins again from square 2,or 3,not quite square one. [Re fringe;conspiracy]

"they" are behaving in an all bets are off manner, keeping thier hand hidden, playing an endgame rather than making a benign effort.

this is a fandango on epigenetics, [in mice] nothing new.

we have this interesting thing called a thermoelectric generator,that converts thermal gradient to electromotive force.

so yes harvesting energy from "the heat" is a thing, if you gate the dissipation of heat from the source to a sink.

these are already used to scavenge heat to drive fans, lights, phone chargers, and pumps.

in the US, tech and government are opposed, rather than tandem.

even those such relationships publicly declared of mutual benefit are more akin to a dog left to guard a plate of steak

i like to mail a fiver or two to a P.O.B.

thats only if you ban water bottles at such speeches.
