My grandfather was born in Oct. 1918, and he died in 2008 in early summer. If you're a having a baby at this point in time, like my best friend is doing at the moment, their natural life span can take them into the next century and through whatever date you want to kick the can at.

i mean if we're going all in on humans inevitably embracing hatred and selfishness, thus dooming their entire species and likely most life on earth, then their hatred should at least be on target to the extent possible!

"Paul Kalanithi posted:I began to realize that coming in such close contact with my own mortality had changed both nothing and everything. Before my cancer was diagnosed, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. After the diagnosis, I knew that someday I would die, but I didn’t know when. But now I knew it acutely. The problem wasn’t really a scientific one. The fact of death is unsettling. Yet there is no other way to live.

god that book was the loving worst egotistical and pretentious bullshit i've ever read i was tricked into reading it a while back but it turns out the only reason it's popular is because he was a privileged rear end in a top hat who got to die a comfortable premature death

Someone please post the study from a mainstream economist saying there'll be an 80% reduction in agricultural output by 2060, which will have no economic impact on other sectors.

it's now spring in australia, a time where all the wild flowers are blooming and insects are pumping away on these flowers. but, where i am, they're not. i was camping on one of islands off the coast last week (stradbroke island) and driving across the island i had no bug splatter on my car - at all. my windscreen was pristine, my bumper was pristine. this is very concerning, espeically for an island that's protected from the over-development and land clearing of the mainland lmao (lol)

Ursine Catastrophe posted:don't worry capitalism has already solved this robot bees (now referred to as bees) will hunt down and exterminate biological bees (biobees, for short) and increase efficiency in their range while gathering big data used by ai neural networks to further improve bee design at the bee factory. in due time biobees will be completely replaced and passed down to history as dumb, inefficient, sticky honey commies

will the robo bees be vulnerable to a chip shortage caused by continuing degradation of international production and trade capabilities? I'm guessing... lmao e:can we make robo bees that build the chips?

Slavvy posted:Yeah we totally don't know Xaris posted:actually we do, we just dont care We know it's a consequence of human activity, but just like with the thiamine deficiency across the trophic chain, we have no idea by what mechanisms is it that insect biomass is collapsing, because it's exceeding what would be expected from shifting temperature bands or ecosystem loss due to land-use changes. We could cease all carbon emissions tomorrow and poo poo would still keep dying because we aren't even sure what is it we're doing that's killing the planet. On that note, our future biodiversity loss estimates are invariably hosed because we just don't know what the gently caress we're doing that's so deadly to the biosphere.

Now I'm imagining having to disassemble and recycle dead robobees all the time. Or if you step on one *crunch* there goes  E; the insects, recognizing the failure of the incredibly rare-in-the-universe sapient mammals to accept communism and join the galactic hive mind, have elected to return to their home planets.

Dumping Terratonnes of insecticide and herbicide into the environment for the better part of a century, in addition to a myriad of poorly-disposed industrial contaminants which have the same effect on these creatures, at exponentially increasing rates, had a pretty obvious end state for anyone with half a brain.
