"It isn't real, but if it is, it's natural, but if it's not natural, it's not problematic, if it is actually a big problem, we can't do anything about it, and if we can, we don't know how, and if we knew how... well it's too late now. It was a different time then. Let's move on"

You are the most powerful person in the world.
You are the one who is not taking action.
