I’m sure many (most?) people would want to stop/reduce climate change before this gets worse.
However line-must-go-up capitalism says no, because money.
Under our current capitalist system, until it affects quarterly reporting I don’t see significant change coming from corporations. On the contrary, corporations will resist change because change is risky and expensive.
Nothing we could conceivably do could ever possibly prevent that entirely. Shit is going to get BAD no matter what we do. We are still maybe able to prevent our extinction/near-extinction in the coming centuries. But famine and disease will be rampant once again in every country. Borders will be guarded with machine guns that are used liberally in many modern western countries.
maybe we should try to keep it from getting to that point?
like, we could. we could skip the part where the living envy the dead. or at least try skipping that part?
please?
I skimmed over your line “living envy the dead” - that’s an awesome turn of phrase.
thanks! it’s been kicking around for a while; I just picked it up.

the way you skip the part where the living envy the dead is by killing billionaires.
the end result, if we fail, is the same as if we never tried, but maybe less miserable and drawn out.

I did say try.
and centuries. plural. that’s pretty optimistic.
