Instead of trying something feasible and sane here on earth, this “trash this planet and try setting up colonies in space” shit is so absurd.

The hurdles en route to that are so much harder to clear than a serious transition to a sustainable lifestyle through advocacy here on earth.

I don’t think the average human is as hopeless as our leadership. If we are flooded with nonsensical ideas and education is destroyed, it is not surprising the average person doesn’t think clearly about these topics.

It makes me wonder how good these guys actually are at math. No wonder people like Elon, our other idiot billionaires, tech leaders and those fucking stupid effective altruists think population collapse is the issue not population explosion. Who can want to eschew cheap labor and the trashification of the planet to peddle cheap phones and other consumer goods over anything sustainable and cool?

A lot of these types in Si valley etc. kinda are idiots. Such loopy and absurd ways of thinking. Not at all pragmatic..

More factory farming; no advocacy for smaller family sizes or less consumption plus more conservation, but panic over imaginary issues like declining birth rates; more space junk..these people are idiots..

You are idiots babes..it is a wonder you even know how to breathe..
