Elon Musk will come back on Earth one day and solve the problem...Then one bullet more won't count ...
Did not you understand ? He already solved it : just drive in cosmonaut suit as there is no lithium enough for 7 billions cars !
“It's so hard to believe in anything anymore. I mean, it's like, religion, you really can't take it seriously, because it seems so mythological, it seems so arbitrary...but, on the other hand, science is just pure empiricism, and by virtue of its method, it excludes metaphysics. I guess I wouldn't believe in anything anymore if it weren't for my lucky astrology mood watch.”

Science has always been one of the great achievement of humankind. To understand objective reality is no trivial task that takes bravery and discipline.
I would not like to live in a world without science for sure...
But everything that shines bright has a shadow. Nietzsche was one of the first to notice that shadow(shadow of The Enlightenment) as he did in everything else important to humans. Philosophers later on continued on his work as they had to deal with obnoxious and prevalent scientism among other things that is going strong even today.
Science is a very powerful tool indeed, but is only valid within it's own assumptions.
Today you have PhDs that say things like "I don't do metaphysics" or "I don't deal with philosophy, I only do science." with a straight face. I guess they don't know what a PhD means.
Scientism among other things is unfortunately detrimental to the employed scientific method itself.
Some times it seems that what some consider "cold facts" is loosely based on assumptions and "seeing patterns that are not there", which I can agree with JSR that we are very good at.
Just because we have lost the documentation of what happened 10k, 15k or 20k years ago does not mean that we are any smarter today. We are just more people, put enough monkeys in a room with typewriters...
Consciousness, soul, egocentric behaviour. Same thing really. 😀
I am not so sure about that, just because we cannot talk to other animals, we believe they are stupid. Probably the same for some them, "Those white fluffballs do not speak our howl&growl language, and they are slow! They must be food!".
I guess it is possible that some animals are even more "conscious" than we are, like there are different forms of intelligence.
So this seems like a plan to save Denmark and possibly also Netherland from natural catastrophes, through beer consumption?!
Even some animals support your plan, they've been at it for years!
There are lots of accounts of reindeer deliberately getting high on consuming certain mushrooms, and also lots of accounts of animals deliberately eating fermented fruit to get wasted.

We had a riding school/stables growing up and there was one horse (out of around 8) that every year would get wasted on plums that had dropped and fermented.....only that one, the others wouldn’t touch the stuff.
We had people constantly coming to the door saying our horse was sick, one feller even offered to ‘put her down’ for us! The reaction when told she was just drunk was priceless....we’d stand on the porch and watch until they were satisfied it was just drunk!
It was rather hilarious.....and I really believe the horse liked it.

My dog used to drink every unsupervised alcoholic drink.
She wasn't choosy: Beer, wine and mixed drinks were all fair game to her.

If we listen to the oral history of aboriginals, they have records of proven events that have happened anywhere up to 75,000 years ago.
I have learnt that all living creatures are intelligent, and because they are driven mostly by instinct, they prefer predictable behaviour from humans. If they get that, and birds in particular will study you for weeks before they accept you, then and only then, will they live in harmony with you. I could talk for hours about this.
And it is animals that have shown humans where to find medicinal or psychoactive plants and fungi that are safe for consumptive use.
I think the main difference between us humans and everything else of what inhabits the rest of the biosphere is that our awareness of our awareness of our awareness really does get in the way of life itself for other living things.

Yes, there are no stupid creatures, only defective ones within species/genomes which can be categorized as sub par. Harmony with nature is consistent with all creatures simultaneously, observed and experienced as such. In this context, intelligence is universal, communication is constant. Being aware of this fact does not taint our existence, rather it's our ignorance of it that is escalating our destruction of it.

Yes we really should nurture and respect other creatures on this planet.Not to do so is yet another example of our consiousness limits.
When you become unconscious behind the wheel of your fast moving car, I would expect that the tree your car is headed for does not suddenly cease to exist.
