Prayer better work because soon there won’t be any

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 18 hours ago

Prayer doesn't work. At best it's stress relief: beats smoking. At worst it fosters a mindless life outlook.

Our present civilizational arrangement that depends on cheap energy and a world-wide endless supply chain is on its last legs. Hospitals depend on both reliable energy and supplies.

If civilization collapses, we can hope the basic knowledge we've accumulated over the last 150-200 years or so will endure. Things like blood circulation, blood pressure, germ theory, blood types, basic first aid, etc. But I doubt it. Most of us are functional morons. We use things that we don't have a clue how any of it got here or how it works.

And if we think about them at all, we assume humans have always had them. See the 1970s series Connections, just episode 1 for what I mean.

If we simply degrade and lose the entitlements we gained during the cheap energy fossil fuel orgy, we'll revert to historical patterns of top 1% getting all the best services and care, such as human doctors and organ transplants, and the rest of us will get AI "doctors" that prescribe symptomatic relief from the company that owns them. See the novel Bladerunner by Nourse for a general sketch. Also from the '70s, another period of political turmoil and a manufactured energy crisis. The difference is that now, the energy crisis isn't manufactured. It's foundational.

I could also be wrong, the LSD is hitting pretty hard this morning.
