I know, I know, we've known this for a LONG time and we never cared before, why would.we care now?

Yeah, om cynical as hell because my prediction is that we will kill ourselves within the decade

We've known were killing our only livable habitat for decades. Loads of people did huge amounts of work to spread the word and do something about it and then a few psychopaths made a few decisions to undo all that hours, days, years, decades work within minutes. That happened ten times over and we keep allowing narcissists with psychopathic tendencies, so yeah, here we are.

Whatever anyone is going tondo to improve this, if any, will be undone within minutes again to ensure shareholders get mac revenue.

So this won't be fixed, ever. I'm sorry to be the bad news bear here, but this is what it is. I haven't seen improvements in the last 40 years, I've only see abuse going harder and harder, so this too will only get worse and worse, and that's it.

There is nothing I can do about this to stop this, barring murdering all politicians and billionaires world wide. That won't happen, of course, they will murder all of us and then hide in their billionaire bunkers with AI robo dogs, until eventually their food/water/oxygen runs out too and then they'll die too and humanity will finally have gone extinct

My only hope is that some life will be left so that the world can recover and who knows, 50 million years from now we may again have intelligent life, still soon enough to have a chance of escaping the sun before it goes boom.

Edit: yes, this reply is cynical as fuck. It's also an honest observation of how things have gone so far Anyone saying I'm full of shit and that we, the normies can actually do something honest to stop this really should come to me and buy my bridge, I have it on discount!

I agree. William Reese on https://reeswilliame.substack.com/ goes into great detail as to why exactly we're fubared.
