Which is wild, considering the top religion in my country is "none".
But how will this affect profits?
we need to consider the shareholders
We need to dramatically restructure our society to avoid total climate chaos. Unfortunately that means less profit for the ultra wealthy, so it's not likely to happen
Humanity is a farce. We prance about, puffed up with nothing but pretense and delusions.
Who could mourn such pathetic creatures?
The AI we leave behind us to inherit the universe in our wake.
AI is just as pathetic as we are, since AI are based on us.
I have kith and kin that I mourn.
Yes, most of us have family and friends. And our in-groups.
But that doesn’t change the farcical, slapstick, puppet-show that is humanity.
We jibber-jabber about how we will change before the worst and save ourselves. And here we are marching our way to extinction.
Is someone tracking the billionaires yachts and jets? Might need to see where they have their bunkers and hideouts
At this point just let the end times come. We're finished. We'll go through an extinction event, and whatever is leftover can start new. Hopefully the next race of human-like creatures that are born from the ashes (assuming the planet doesn't turn into Mars) have enough sense to not do what we did.
Imagine being the people that come after the "let the end times come" generations
Ah, the “let the end times come” generations who still want to be cared for when they get old by younger generations.
Yes, this is pretty infuriating. We're so to say at peak humanity. We have more wealth, knowledge, freedom and leisure time than most people before and after us. And while the people before and after us struggle and fight to survive, we have the paradoxical luxury to lean back, pretending there's nothing worth fighting for.
While scientists tell us every tenth of a degree matters, and +2.7°C is still much better than +3.2°C (imaginary numbers).
Tomorrow 15th Sept is another FFF strike. Check if you can join.
Sad thing is that this is incredibly unlikely.
