> $X is now considered by some important for our future finance system. While not everybody agrees, this may be more important than countless other ways we use energy, for much more trivial reasons. [...] Being judgmental about how others use energy they pay for reeks of hypocrisy, virtue signaling and holier-than-thou attitude.
Et voilà!
"Some" people think $X is now important, and thus, the rest of the world shall no longer be able to produce judgements on either $X or "those people".
I think it is definitely up for debate, and we can ask questions such as how absurd $X actually is (or is not), how absurdly wasteful (or not) $X is, how many "some people" is, whether the assumption that $X is important for $Y is true (or not), etc.
