The early modern age came about in no small part because of the Black Death creating conditions for surviving laborers to have greater power to renegotiate the social contract to this will work out quite well for those left alive in climate resettlement zones, I'm sure.

When the Big Die gets going too much to ignore we're gonna figure out a way to put 500 million people in arcologies in resettlement zones and make a more or less stable anthropogenic biome out of a few dozen tasty treats and call it a win and Jack ourselves off to our engenuity over the screams of megadeath. "we" is too anodyne, the people who profited from farting this place to near uninhabitability in the first place will be doing that. Owlbear Camus has issued a correction as of 15:38 on Nov 6, 2022 |

I've finally mentally accepted that my paintings are actually desirable given my sales rate so why not. Unironically having some of my backlog painted to a high tabletop standard would rate higher than most gifts I can think of, so I hope the people you're doing this for appreciate it.

AceClown posted:yes but you see, it'll be protected by armed guards who definitely won't figure out that they have all the power in the relationship and take it over I will never grow tired of the story of the consultant who was brought in to help the billionaires with their end of the world plans and they scoffed when he suggested "uh maybe be nice to them and make them feel like part of your community." Opting instead for "maybe shock collars or a combination lock on food stores?" which just seems like buying all in on "getting tortured by your guards" futures. I'm glad this poo poo keeps them up at night. E: Honestly pro gamer move to the PMC guys who have secured a handsome annual retainer for a contract they may never have to exercise and if they do will give them immediate ownership of a well-appointed doomsday fortress once they murk the rich rear end in a top hat "employing" them.

Spaced God posted:People will actually not shrug it off and say it's a good thing because the planet is overpopulated or whatever eugenic bullshit Yeah it'll probably be this. Whether or not there is "overpopulation," the people most vocal about it in my experience tend to think it's the biopolitically disposable brown folks far away who are the "over," not the suburban wasp consuming a thousand times the average daily co2 output worth of consumer bullshit of any one person on the subcontinent.

Xaris posted:I actually think this is a fairly plausible scenario that we have to rapidly and gigantuously consume more energy to paper over various climate and socioeconomic failings, the contradictions of capital and failing of a planet can be bandaided by expending more energy. but it’s neither a permanent thing because we will still run out of bountiful energy and the wound still hemorrhages out also not for nothing the military is the biggest polluter in the world and I don't see the US quietly ceding its already declining global primacy and weaning us piggies back to only consuming our fair share without a fight.

Four decades with few breaks living in WI and I don't remember "don't go outside and breathe the air because Canada is on fire" ever being a concern. I'm sure this is all very normal and doesn't portent worse to come.

i went back to finish my undergrad at an advanced age because my brief time in the #1 world polluter us military entitles me to do so for free and it felt more fulfilling than moving numbers around in excel all day in a cubicle anyway this semester i'm taking a required 200 level survey human geography course and peeking ahead at the syllabus one of the essays is 500-600 words make an argument for or against a policy to combat climate change using carbon pricing in the US, demonstrating that we know what an "environmental externality" is. if the policy proposal we're pitching doesn't use pricing, why is it a better proposal? i am excited to try to fit a rant about Number and Carbon Indulgences as a ritual of the Number Religion in < 600 words without being referred to campus crisis services

i just realized that of my 200 level human geography class's critical writing essays, the lowest grade of the 3 for the semester is dropped. i got a perfect score on the first two. the third one is on an alternate proposal to carbon offsets to manage emissions. i am subjecting my professor to an unhinged screed well over the stated word count explaining the Money Number Religion, the Sacred Line, dying earth doomerism, and finally my proposal: quote:Given the pervasive influence of the Money Number Religion, my proposed solution is as simple as it is comprehensive and unthinkable to that faith’s acolytes. The first step is total nationalization of the fossil fuel industry. The cost of a controlling interest in the three largest oil companies is estimated at around $350 billion, a trivial amount given the ballooning Pentagon budget to fight current and future resource wars and amelioration of the symptoms of the climate catastrophe (The Hill, 2022) Owlbear Camus has issued a correction as of 05:03 on Nov 14, 2023 |
