Good. We are not doing enough yet. We should blow as much pollution into the air as quickly as possible. And spray as many chemicals on the earth and dump plastic into the oceans as we can.
The sooner we make this planet uninhabitable for human life, the sooner it can begin to regenerate for a future species that will do better.
Humanity, the disease, the parasite, must be completely eradicated.
Who does this brand of acceleration help? It’s not people, we die from it. Same with all the life. Is it future life that it helps? Why value potential future life over existent present life? Shouldn’t we be working as hard as we can to improve conditions instead of giving up and killing ourselves?
The fastest way to ease the pain of a broken arm is to cut it off at the shoulder, but sometimes the fastest way to do something is the worst way to do it
Fiction fetishizes the “burn it all down and restart” mentality; but you could stretch imagination to a billion sentient species, even assuming they could ever exist, and I doubt any could make the change and progress humanity has.
It’s not even possible to duplicate the Industrial Revolution before, because the easily accessible fuel is no longer there.
Fixing things is hard and getting consensus on things is hard. Easier to get people to do something when the building is already on fire. However, in the end, it’s better to not light the place on fire just do you don’t have to talk to people.
I’m fine if we eat the rich, though.
How tf is a comment like this one which is basically on some ISIS-like kill everyone level beeing upvoted?
Everything is “cringe” nowadays. Calling things cringe is cringe. nobody gives a shit.
