The only bugs future humans will see will be served in slurry in our pods.

Bargaining. Because of the lag time associated with climate change, by the time humans fully appreciate the gravity of the situation, it will already be too late to avoid grievous consequences. However, it is inevitable that we will then do everything we should have been doing all along to reverse the process, especially given our unreasonable faith in technological fixes. And because of the incomprehensibility of the prospects, again it seems inevitable that a large part of the population will progress to yet another type of denial and repression. What one might anticipate with this level of frantic bargaining going on at the societal level in the midst of unprecedented ecological breakdown is an increasing incidence of dissociative disorders in the general populace. Dissociation from one’s personal identity is thought to be a mechanism for coping through psychological disconnection from situations or experiences that are simply too traumatic to integrate into our sense of who we are.24 Depersonalization disorders (feelings of detachment from one's own experience, body, or self) and selective amnesia (characterized by memory loss of a specific category of information) might be two kinds of dissociation that are logical responses to the shock of realizing on some conscious level that the planet is becoming unlivable, especially as iconic species like polar bears, penguins, whales, elephants, songbirds, and tigers blink out of existence.

Chad Sexington posted:Selective amnesia will at least be facilitated by widespread and repeated COVID infections! Suppressed/repressed knowledge of biosphere death, a la no bugs on windshield which is most routinely subconsciously known/processed, doesn't require understanding or even acknowledgement. American individualism is its own brand of toxic rot but it doesn't go into the roots as deeply as McPherson or a lot of CSPAMMERs think. People rely on their neighbors quite a lot; hostility and violence is the purview and caustic outgrowth of actions by the State against its people.
