The Vinja Ninja posted:I really enjoyed it last summer when I went to the mountains of where I was born, And its hundreds of miles away from any major city, and there was this horizon of beautiful yellow smog. Hiked a peak near Mt. Rainier I visited as a kid and the amount of new single-family housing you can see from the peak is insane, it is right next to federal/state protected land at this point.

as is typical in my lecture on chapter 9, "the atmospheres of the terrestrial planets", I went full doom-brain in the last five minutes. I have never seen a group of high schoolers get that quiet. I was honestly kinda impressed.

Nonesense! To the contrary and furthermore the invisible hand of the free market will certainly catch the moon prior to impact, the laws of gravitation do not apply here just keep calm and go shopping.

pissinthewind posted:something seems to be happening pretty regularly ever 50 million years or so! some kind of cycle of life, too much life? oops dead one of those is an asteroid, and the last one is us. it's not really a cycle. also some of the options on the table in the human extinction event include thermodynamic equilibrium and biosphere collapse and stuff. so like, the asteroid extinction is the only real comparison point with the human extinction. that was a single impact event. we are a trillion little impacts every second. what I'm saying is that it is possible that poo poo was all warmups baby, and we are the finale.

My kids are 12, 14 & 16. I had them before really thinking about how bad things are going to get. Sometimes I wonder why we're still going through the motions of getting them to apply themselves at school and think about their future as if it's going to be anything like the past "normal". There's no more normal.

Then I saw Dianne Feinstein basically tell a group of kids to gently caress off and die and that killed that bit of optimism real quick.

I still vividly remember the first time I really understood that almost everyone is bullshitting their way through everything all the time. I was well into my 30s. I have to remind myself very often too. I think most people don’t ever even have that epiphany. There simply never will be critical mass. The younger generation will never save you. They’re all too busy slotting into place when their elders die. it’s all very tidy.

i meant the collective we. we absolutely aren't born alone and we often don't die alone, not in the sense that we really are surrounded by other people for our entire lives. sentient animals just like ourselves. very few if anyone spends their entire life truly alone when i say we are all alone i mean that we are it. there isn't some alien spaceship or government illuminati or religious creation figure looking out over us. it's just us.
