The Green Paradox: To save the planet from carbon, we’re told we must accelerate extraction from its crust—a fundamental contradiction built into the current “green dream”
Entropic Omissions: Industrial narratives render ecological and social costs invisible by focusing only on technical metrics, ignoring irreversible territorial degradation
The Closed Loop Myth: Lithium circularity is a material impossibility within current frameworks due to thermodynamic entropy—every recycling step requires energy and generates new waste
Uneven Geographies: The “green shift” concentrates power and knowledge in affluent regions while externalizing harm to the Global South, perpetuating colonial extraction patterns
From Sleepwalking to Awakening: Moving beyond technical fixes requires an “entropological pact”—a commitment to degrowth, slow science, and regenerative futures that resist systemic inertia
