DrSunshine posted:Life is incredibly precious and beautiful beyond all measure. It is the only example we know of of mute physics and chemistry creating order out of a soup of nothingness. Against all odds, it is a negentropic process that by pure chance appears to have spontaneously arisen only once in this cosmos - as far as we know. It is the only process that exists on Earth that does not merely dissipate, but also propagates. It is, as Darwin wrote, endless forms most beautiful. And instead we're going to snuff it out for the sake of making imaginary numbers go up.

Trying to puzzle out the rules of greater ethics and the meaning of meaning is overdoing it, imo, when the real crux is that the immediate future is loving bleak. Having a kid now just means they'll come of age right after the fifth once-in-a-century economic collapse and be stuck making $2.13/day in balmy Alaska.

The only reason war stopped is we built weapons powerful and all-consuming enough to trip enough people’s self-preservation instincts. Good thing there’s nothing on the horizon that might make people desperate enough to risk it anyway

Mulva posted:The type of thing where you blink and 4,000,000 people died in a second, out of nowhere, for no real cause we can predict. It's never going to be that, all the causes of death and distress will be seen from a thousand miles and decades in time away. Covid came out of nowhere, swept over the whole world and is currently at 3.4 million dead.
