How many more examples do we need of corporations doing things that are antithetical to life itself? It seems clear that no set of laws, regulatory pressure, or good people on the inside will ever stop it. The problem is in the very structure of these companies. They can't do the right thing. They're not designed to.

We have a lot of work to do to understand the human mind, and the minds of other thinking creatures. We can only *then* apply those lessons to design new minds.
We don't get to just magically skip The Work.

The “alphabet ordering” in Japanese is largely due to Sanskrit ordering
> The order of consonants and vowels, and the grid layout, originates in Sanskrit shiksha (śikṣā, Hindu phonetics and phonology), and Brāhmī script, as reflected throughout the Brahmic family of scripts. Specifically, the consonants are ordered from the back to the front of the mouth (velar to labial)

Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.
Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.

tl;dw Most of the energy from fossil fuels is wasted. Energy from renewable sources is much more efficient. In the future, we won‘t need the same amount of energy that we need today.
In other words, if we consume an X amount of fossil fuel energy today, and we want to get rid of fossil fuels, we won’t need the same X amount of renewable energy to do that, but only a fraction of X.

I know this is a Reddit post, but it is a great summary of what Project 2025 plans to do:
https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1d42cqp/comment/l6bi392/
• Eliminating LGBQI+ and transgender rights.
• Eradicating federal funding for DEI programs. Participation in any critical race theory or DEI initiative will be grounds for termination of government employees.
• Ending reproductive freedom and replacing the Department of Health and Human Services with the “Department of Life.”
• Ending climate change and environmental policies by shutting down the Office of Domestic Climate Policy, the Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, the Office of Environmental Justice, and External Civil Rights, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to name a few. Climate science will no longer be used in National Security.
• Slashing of the Department of Justice and dismantling the FBI and replacing their traditional independence from political pressure with fealty to the administration.
• Purging the government of apolitical civil servants by firing as many as 50,000 and hiring replacements from a database of personnel vetted for conservative values and loyalty, a “Conservative LinkedIn.” Successful candidates will undergo training at a “Presidential Training Academy” and be furnished “with the insight, background knowledge, and expertise in governance to immediately begin rolling back destructive policy and advancing conservative ideas in the federal government.”
• Eliminating the checks and balances built into three branches of government in favor of expanded control by the executive branch.
• Replacing the Department of Homeland Security with a 100,000-worker-strong immigration department, militarization of the border and an end to refugee programs.
• Fundamentally altering American diplomacy to push anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ+ agendas, adopt a “human rights” regime distinct from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and abandon international organizations and traditional diplomatic and security alliances.
