Isn't Ai a religion already ? ๐ค
More religion? So just all, okay...guess the "life in balance with nature"-type of religions are also evil and protecting nature is cutting down trees
Don't forget more Trillionaires
Do you reckon the USA actions in the last 2 years have contributed to the speed up?
As someone who doesn't know much of anything about this topic could you elaborate on what actions the US has taken? I am genuinely curious.
Removal of subsidies for EVs, launching rockets for space garbage every 5 seconds, and bombing everything. I'm sure hitting the gas/fuel plant with missiles was especially great for greenhouse gases.
Makes sense, thank you.
Defenetly but its not the only thing
Climate change deniers: "I'll be dead by 2050, why do I care?" or "Fuck you, I got mine already."
Reality: FAFO.
There's been a 73% decline in global vertebrate populations since 1970. We're in the beginning of a very serious mass extinction and it's kinda like we don't care which is interesting.
Sociopathic billionaires with all of the power to do something about it absolutely don't care if the world ends. They only care if they were on top before the game ended.
That's because a lot of money is being spent to keep us oblivious about it.
Not saying you're wrong but I don't see the point in letting the population collapse. It will just bounce back later and probably be far greater assuming humans don't go extinct before achieving sufficient space travel and colonies. That is also assuming we're the only ones here and this isn't like a controlled demolition of the human species by some other entity or force.
people can really just say anything they want on the internet huh?
I haven't even ruled out last Thursdayism. Reality is strange, even in the most mundane interpretation.
no no you don't understand, the billionaires want more money, the number simply must go up. and maybe they would care about the world if any of their workers would inform them of the consequences of each of their actions, but none that do stick around so the number keeps going up, fuck the consequences
Possible but they're holding summits trying to figure out how to maintain control in their bunkers when money no longer has value. I think they're pretty aware of the situation at hand.
yeah but you just said it, they feel safe with their bunkers, the rest of the world be damned
Safe until there's a revolt and they become the bunker bitch or in a worse case tomorrow's dinner. You see the issue? Can't control people with money if money no longer has value.
Well that's because we are the mass extinction event.
Yup, second organism to cause a mass extinction but the first to self proclaim it's intelligent.
The curse of interesting times strikes again.
I'm still pretty solid on the idea we're in an ancestor simulation or at minimum definitely not in base reality.
Whatever helps get you through it. Functionally it makes no difference. The simulation runs particles smaller than atoms and the maximum speed is still light. Our universe is too vast for us to explore and there's probably other life forms on planets too far away to matter. Our experience is insignificant in the grand scheme of things, yet the only thing we will ever do. Make it count while you're here.
I mean the probability isn't in our favor. As for us, yeah it doesn't change much. Same for a lot of epistemological arguments. Last Thursdayism, Descartes demon, Plato's cave, Chung Tzu's butterfly, solipsism, Boltzmann brains could all be bang on right on the money. I see you're taking the more so physical reality approach, even then if something like the holographic universe or some variation is correct then maybe distance doesn't exist like we think it does. If for instance we're in a black hole then there's a one to one representation of all information here in what we consider 3D space on the black hole's surface.
All the fun ideas aside I agree with you although maybe our definitions of fun may be different. That is I think the first goal is to reduce needless and avoidable suffering for all minds anywhere in existence whenever possible. Like even if it is a simulation of sorts or reality just started ten seconds ago or what I'm experiencing is a Boltzmann brain it still doesn't stop the first goal from at least being the best goal I've found so far.

Faster than expected, and worse than anticipated. It will get much faster and much worse. Practice growing your own food and stay in shape.
Actually, in line with what was actually anticipated and taught in science classes in 2000. People decided to go with the best case scenarios as if global emissions would go down for some reason. No one who has been paying attention should be surprised.
Yeah limits to growth I think was in the 70s. Seems pretty accurate so far.

Every time the IPCC publishes a report it's like: oh yeah may have gone way past the most pessimistic option this year, yet again, for the seventh time in a row, so here's a new set of predictions that will surely not be overly optimistic this time round.

Idk how to convince people anymore. I am tired and sad
That's the hit.
Drink lots of water and try to di most of your errants and activity by night or early morning when temperatures are at the coolest.
Oh good we are ahead of schedule
