I mean that kinda deflects from the fact that it is only a handful of big industries and our artificial “need” for infinite growth that not only kills us, but a majority of life.
Meanwhile, best we can do is participate “critically”. Thanks, i hate it.
Edit: I just checked and the 10 biggest oil and gas-companies have a market share of $3600 Billion. When have last talked about destroying these companies that have evidently fucked us hard. It honestly is a crime that no one shoots their CEOs on a daily bases.
There won’t be another technologically advanced society on earth to repeat our mistakes. All the easily accessible resources needed have long been turned into infrastructure that will degrade into unusable waste by the time the planet has healed and surviving humans would be capable of making use of it again.
As far as sci-fi literature is concerned, religious cults could be a “solution“. Just look how WH40k and Dune approach AI. Also, those cults solved one problem, but caused a long list of new problems, so…
Lots of viruses don’t kill their host, and in return we dont try to eradicate those but they are casualties of an immune response, so the metaphor is still apt imo.
That is a pretty weird reaction to something that can be prevented and i am not sure how it helps. But i guess ignorance and apathy are a good way to cope with hiw the world has turned out.
If we as humans hadn’t invented agriculture and lived purely as hunters and gatherers, the planet coul only support 1-10 million people.
We have spent the past 10000 years fine-tuning how to abuse and exploit this planet, without consideration. It’s not the companies skimming the cream who are to blame. It’s the whole idea of us feeling entitled to just have whatever the planet has to offer
Unfortunately, more populous societies are more successful in dominating the others, so natural selection brought us to this point. Problem is we developed technology faster than our genetics could adapt.
Climate crisis is just the world having a fever, to kill us 🤒

I guess one thing we can do is document the causes of our demise so that maybe the post apocalyptic historians can warn the survivors.

Were warning everyone right now with the most sophisticated communication network ever imagined and it’s doing fuck all.

Meh, cyanobacteria managed the same thing without industry or capitalism. It just happens sometimes.

It’s a better image than “We have to save the planet!”.
It’s not about the planet, dumbass! It’s about us, human lives! The planet doesn’t care if it is a bit warmer or if there is human life on it.
