i feel like the push against doomerism is less because of "apathy" or "do nothingisms" but rather that upon the realization of the scope and inevitablity of the problem, the solutions to that problem are really quite scary. Like alright you've got a large group of people in some country that is doing some biosphere related policies that might actually solve human extinction, that group is going to have to seize power and force the rest of that country to adopt those policies. Then, because this is a very global problem involving international entities that will just leave your country, you're going to have to somehow seize power and force the entire world to adopt biosphere sustainable policies, that's world domination by any means necessary poo poo, the alternative being billions and all future humans dead, but either way its a terrifying thought for the vast majority of lib minded people. There is already no such thing as "freedom" as described by these people, but any biosphere saving movement is going to have to take even the small illusions of freedom we have away from the entire world. And as soon as you start talking about how the solutions to the problem have to be as big, if not bigger than the problem itself, you're moving into ecofascism territory pretty quick man

that's right, though I think the attitude is less rooted in cowardice than a kind of anticipatory helplessness, and so is fatalistic doomerism itself. behavior, like all things, is material, and so are the minds that cause behavior. these minds are produced by their economic system in order to reproduce that system, and like any organism adapted for a particular niche, they are exquisitely context sensitive to that niche. that's why both anti-doomers and fatalist doomers are almost invariably middle class or otherwise wholly immersed in Capital: computer touchers, scientists, managers, people whose entire existences revolve around and whose minds have been carefully evolved to push buttons in the cybernetic-ideological machinery they comprise. both anti-doomers and fatalistic doomers have in common that they've been trained wrong as a joke and will not fit in any niche that is likely to exist in the future, and, as minds are wont to do, generalize their own helpless situations to all minds. despite rather pathetic protestations to the contrary, their attitudes reflect not so much any objective facts that humanity is or isn't actually doomed, but the objective fact that they personally are doomed, that even if they can survive as an organism, to survive would entail becoming an entirely different mind, nothing like who they are now; to become entirely new persons, which is effectively dying. if the problem is simply too vast for humanity, or death is certain, anyway, their reasoning goes, we may as well lean back and enjoy the treats we have, or become that useless piece of poo poo who's too demoralized to do anything but then explains to everyone else it's because they're smarter and better and everyone else is wasting their time.

unfortunately for them, there is no escape from the struggle and suffering inherent to life. so get in losers, we're gonna catch the falling knife. :3:

Petróleos Mexicanos discovered the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction in the 60s, and kept it secret for over a decade in case it had relevance to oil extraction. Imagine how quickly they started the coverup when they realized that their business model would be the cause of human extinction.

Weed Killer Glyphosate Found in Most Americans' Urine

quote:

More than 80% of Americans have a widely used herbicide lurking in their urine, a new government study suggests. The chemical, known as glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic to humans,” the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer has said.

Traces of the herbicide have previously been found in kids' cereals, baby formula, organic beer and wine, hummus and chickpeas.

German pharmaceutical company Bayer purchased the Roundup brand when it bought the agrochemical company Monsanto in 2018, CBS News reported.

In 2020, the EPA determined that the chemical was not a serious health risk and “not likely” to cause cancer in humans. However, a federal appeals court ordered the EPA to reexamine those findings last month, CBS News reported.

The U.S. Supreme Court last month rejected Bayer’s bid to shut down ongoing lawsuits over whether the herbicide causes cancer. The justices also let a $25 million judgment on behalf of a California man stand. In that case, the plaintiff said he developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from decades of using Roundup on his property, CBS News reported.

So far, Bayer has won four cases in state courts where plaintiffs alleged that Roundup caused their cancer, CBS News said.

The company continues to assert that the herbicide is safe, but plans to replace it in Roundup intended for residential use beginning next year. The chemical will still be included in products meant for professional and farm use.
probably carcinogenic to humans, but then again if it’s in urine I guess that means it’s not hanging around in the body? not that bad, yet
