We're looking at between 200 million and 2 billion dead over the next 20 years due to climate collapse. Things are better than they ever have been? My brother in Christ, we are on the eve of what future historians will call "The Great Hunger."

I would still take this over living in a shit hut during the Dark Ages. Or dying from a small infection because no one knows what germ theory is. Or watching 6 year old girls getting sold for marriage to old men. Or not being able to read, nor even knowing anyone who can. Or live in a world without anti-parasitic drugs.

Capitalism is when the scientific method exists and human knowledge has accumulated after all

The Wealth of Nations literally just says "Let Newton do it lol" that's it, that's the whole book
