Have a fun life buddy.

Alistair! I’m not a window cleaner!

No cake frosting in the jungle.

Isn’t that basically what he pitches? To be angry at the system that has, in their minds and from their perspectives, been wronging them? Even though of course people like Trump are a tumour in the system.

It’s a sum with n from 1 to infinity. The first value with n=1 is 3/4, with n=2 it’s 3/16. And if you keep adding those terms as n goes to infinity it approaches 1 but never gets there.

Then if you look back at the meme, you could zoom in for infinity and always find a smaller square.

The world has its own CO2 cycle so it’s not that we need to reach 0, we just need to reach a balanced emission threshold. Though at this point we will also need to aid this process with further removal.

The issue is mostly that we are outputting too much. Shipping industries, energy production, other transport such as cars and planes. These industries are a big part of the problem and the ones fueling (e.g. oil) them are the ones most interested in your feeling of hopelessness, as then they have free reign over their actions.

The world has and will get hotter. There will be more disasters. But it’s unlikely to be the end of civilisation. The more we act now, the fewer people will suffer.

It’s not a hopeless cause at all. Look at our tech now vs 100 years ago. Humanity has the means to do it.

If you’re that intelligent you’d know how to frame your thought process, ideas and way of life for others. If you don’t know then don’t worry, you’re just average.

At current pace we most likely will. But it won’t be cheap, both in terms of resources and lives. But it’s unlikely to end human civilisation.

Keep in mind that being a climate doomer and giving in to hopelessness is pretty much playing in the hands of the ones causing it.

Excuse me, sir. I find it unacceptable to be classified as such. Please refer to my person as 50 bags of flour. Thanks.

Yes, bags of flour. That’s a measurement I can get behind.

Can confirm, never regret eating olives off the jar.

Random person: and my axe

“You had people walking around with shovels, axes, and other tools from the construction trade”

It’s about the same reason why Vulcans got attached to us. They’re a curious species. They didn’t necessarily expect gain other than to satisfy their curiosity. They’d probably have respected lab rats about as much as they respected humans.

But I generally disagree with the OP above you. As far as observations go, the universe seems like a rather lonely place. I don’t think a lot of science fiction is far off. Either from a civilisation looking to make friends or slaves. Both are sensible plots. The uselessness of humanity portrayed in that post seems incorrect and highly pessimistic. Evidence of that is easy enough to find just by looking at the rest of our solar system. We may be far from perfect but for something like us and all other life on earth to be born out of such chaos seems to beat the odds and so far we have no evidence of otherwise.

With that said, I don’t think humans will ever reach a state of perfection. I don’t think our universe allows that. Maybe outside our universe.

Rather than losing my loved ones, I think I’d be more scared of losing my love for them. Either via a cold heart or dementia.

He did away with Pluto and that’s all the evidence I need to believe this.

Are the elders invading again?

The Dragon Ball franchise was mostly a snorefest. Endless fillers. Extremely slow plot progress. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug isn’t it. Even DBZ, which was cherry picked here. And that extends to pretty much everything on that list. As much as I like some of them, I would never be able to sit down and give them my full attention for all their episodes. FMA mayyybe being the exception here.

Doing this has gotten me off most spam call lists.

Invented in the 50s, Fortran = FORmula Translating language. It was basically created to solve this sort of problem.

The alternative forms of government have done it much faster. I wonder if we will get the balance right eventually. I thought Nordic states had a good thing going but seeing Sweden’s right shift lately I’d guess not.
