"the rulers and their families."
Fixed that for you.
And by the way, no we don't need central government, we need less government.
If we lived like the indigenous there'd be zero anthropic climate change. We will burn all the petroleum until there is no more.

It's all a fraud.

Yes, the rulers and their families. What's good for the families is by extension good for the ruler. I'm not sure it was a needed "fix"?
I'm also not sure that us all living like people who are not indigenous to places like Europe, China, or India actually results in a better world, though I do agree that it's one without anthropic climate change.
You're imagining a state that's stable but not one connectable to the present day. We need central government because of the way things are, not because of the way they could be in an arbitrary reimagining of the world.

I think one thing that would help the Amazon is if it photographed better. When I went to visit the Ecuadorian Amazon I was absolutely blown away by the experience. But the photos really aren’t that compelling. Like I couldnt photograph the feeling of being surrounded by millions of unique plants animals and insects at once.

Oh, that Amazon.
Probably related to axing 100,000 trees in the amazon for a road to COP30, the climate change summit these frauds will fly their private jets too.
If you still think "climate change" is about the climate, please wake up.

It's about the political climate, no doubt.
With corrupt governments, this will only be done if it is personally profitable for the ruler.
Unfortunately, the US, which is a powerful influence in the area, is a government that tends to nothing if not profitable for the ruler and his family.
