I'm now imagining warcraft 3 but instead of an RTS it's an economic management game. Hmm. In a world before corporations and electricity could a group of wizards, sufficiently motivated by numbermancery, create a stock market for all the elves and dwarves to invest their gold nuggets in?

Stereotype posted:also to clarify, predicting that the future will be identical to today / the past is not predicting, it is just what is obvious: not a prediction. predicting means saying something different will happen. everything will always be the same, and suggesting it wont is predicting, which is a mixture of impossible and also against the will of god, who wants us to continue driving big trucks and dumping our batteries into the ocean, preferably nearby coral and manatees thanks for the hot take

We Are Witnessing the First Stages of Civilization’s Collapsequote:When do we know that a civilization is on the verge of collapse? In his now almost 20-year-old classic, Diamond identified three key indicators or precursors of imminent dissolution: a persistent pattern of environmental change for the worse like long-lasting droughts; signs that existing modes of agriculture or industrial production were aggravating the crisis; and an elite failure to abandon harmful practices and adopt new means of production. At some point, a critical threshold is crossed and collapse invariably follows. i know he's had his issues but jared diamond is one of the three people that got me on this doomer poo poo early on.

Well I'm in South Louisiana in one of those dark parts of the wet bulb map. Just heard a forest fire started, can't remember that ever happening in the 30 years I've lived here. The smoke is pretty suffocating and I know it's not nearly as bad as the wildfire smoke was up north but it's jarring for sure. I've had about half my chickens die from heat stress despite my efforts to keep everything cool and ventilated. I don't understand how some people can still deny what's happening before their own eyes but "the earth goes through natural cycles" is the resounding response from those around me. I'm just trying my best to get to the great lakes region before a mega storm wipes us out but most people seem committed to holding out even if they have the resources to move. What will bring the crack ping?

Tungsten posted:literally nothing. "the fires are caused by jewish space lasers" creates less cognitive dissonance for most people than "the industrial revolution was bad, actually" so people are just going to resort to that kind of thinking more and more pretty much a good chunk of people have made "triggering the libs" and hating "hippies" and "socialists" a load-bearing pillar of their identity. those same people also have "never ever admit you were wrong as it shows weakness" as a core value, a chronic case of incuriosity or outright hostility towards intellectual pursuits, all this with a side serving of "gently caress you got mine". then add to that a singular focus on consumerism as both a god-given right and their main tool for expressing themselves, and you get people for whom the very idea that climate change is real is a direct personal attack a lush area where they've lived all their life turning to a barren desert with dry riverbeds over the course of five years wouldn't make them change their mind. a fluke, a part of a cycle, a weather machine, "it's always been like this"; all of those are preferable explanations, because what's important is that you weren't wrong

Cold on a Cob posted:We Are Witnessing the First Stages of Civilization’s Collapse quote:Aside from its unprecedented scale, there are aspects of this year’s fire season that suggest a more profound threat to society. To begin with, in fire terms—or more accurately, in climate-change terms—Canada has clearly lost control of its hinterland. As political scientists have long suggested, the very essence of the modern nation-state, its core raison d’être, is maintaining control over its sovereign territory and protecting its citizens. A country unable to do so, like Sudan or Somalia, has long been considered a “failed state.”

Canada (and the USA) never gave a poo poo about protecting the rights of its indigenous populations in the first place, so while that analysis is correct in that it makes Canada a failed state, I fear few will care.

What will bring the crack ping? If you have been in Louisiana for 30 years you will want to think long and hard about moving but if after that long and hard thought you decide it's the way to go, then do it now before the next big mega storm. All of us need to be where we are part of a community and have laid down roots. When things get really bad you are better off having a support system in a less ideal place than being a stranger in a new place, even if it's better on paper. If you're living in a low lying area prone to flooding then move NOW but you can stay local for that. If you have connections to the great lakes region, then start looking for jobs and apartments now. If you don't have connections now, you can still move but do it sooner rather than later and then concentrate on finding your community there.

Zeta Taskforce posted:If you have been in Louisiana for 30 years you will want to think long and hard about moving but if after that long and hard thought you decide it's the way to go, then do it now before the next big mega storm. I'm finishing up my degree in the medical field first, about a year left on that and then I'll be able to get a job elsewhere. The area I'm in is pretty much sea level, my parents live nearby and have had their house destroyed twice now. The ocean isn't far and Louisiana has a big problem with erosion, sea level rise, flooding, saltwater infiltrating what was previously freshwater, and the oppressive combo of heat and humidity. I honestly cannot see a way I can stay for another 10-20 years, with age comes additional health issues that make it more difficult to survive those extremes. Community is important, I agree, but there will come a time when we need to cede land to the ocean and my familys land will certainly be among the first to go.
