  1.  @mschribr  if we can't comprehend it in the moment then perception is our reality. Understanding it later won't help any. That'll be too late. The chess game will have already be lost by then.

  2.  @mschribr  there will be no good food.

  3.  @mschribr  People developed the internet and automobiles so of course someone understand those. In fact many do. When AI invents things we may not understand those things. As in no one at all. And don't think that ChatGPT is the have all and end all of AI. That's like saying the first automobile that was ever built was the most advanced, and sophisticated car of all time. Because it wasn't. In fact it wasn't even close.

  4. Going to shit presupposes things have never been shitty in the past. I'm sure if we could bring someone from the Dark Ages into the conversation they'd have an interesting perspective on matters.

  5.  @Owenrobot  when have we ever had a historical precedent to inform us? The past is no predictor of the future. If there is a meaning to life I imagine it is just to see what happens. Because we really don't know. When 2001 came out in 1968 most people then would have had no problem believing we'd have all the tech that's depicted. We're 23 years beyond that date now so we have the hindsight to know it was wrong.

  6. Can we get a third option? I'd like to pave over the planet myself. Think of the traffic jams we could avoid then. If only every road was wider.

  7.  @andresgarciacastro1783  you can plant trees anywhere below the tree line. When you do those lands won't be so barren then. There's programs in Africa that are reclaiming deserts by planting. I watched a documentary about it.

  8. There won't be any survivors. Some may just take a little longer to die than others.

  9. You severely underestimate the hazard of ionizing radiation.

  10. After a nuclear war there will be no one to ask such foolish questions.

  11.  @mpmpm  humans exist on 6% of the world's landmass. There's still plenty of wide open spaces left. But perception is that the world is crowded because most people live in crowded places. I'm sure you could travel less than a day in some direction and find low population density by you. If it gets hotter we'll have longer growing seasons and more time of comfortable temperatures. Life is warmth and cold is death. Climate change is a grift too.

  12.  @bhabbott  opinions of what's habitable differ.

  13. What do we do with nuclear waste? What do you think Depleted Uranium shells are made out of? How was that uranium depleted? You have questions, we have undisclosed interrogation sites where you won't be getting the answers you hoped for.

  14. The Italian volcanic eruption just erased any carbon reduction the EU has managed to accomplish.

  15. I don't care if there's a problem if there's no solution. Well, perhaps care is the wrong word but figure it out.

  16. The Internet was actually decades old in the early 90s. Just not everywhere in the world. The first network was setup in the late 60s. The 12 imps.

  17. This video didn't age well.

  19. What's more we don't want one either.

  21. I've heard that in simulations there's never any such thing as a limited nuclear war. It always ends with everything being fired that can be fired. Which makes sense if you think about it. No one's going to take it lying down.
