I’m such a dumbo that I didn’t get the point of the question…

I told myself the same lie, week after week, until some day I realised it wasn’t a lie anymore.

That would work if a week wasn’t followed by another, and another, and another…

That we’ll solve climate change and I’ll get to live past 50

There are some ideas to terraform the Earth to keep it habitable. It’s just very expensive and challenging and if we screw it up, we’ll be worse off than when we started. We likely won’t get a 2nd chance and as a species we don’t typically nail it on the 1st try.

We probably won’t solve climate change. We might be able to make huge air conditioned complexes with just a single basic bed for everybody with insect farms underground for us to eat?

That just sounds like Fallout with extra steps.

No one knows what happens in the future. We can make assumptions and calculation based on statistics and probability. But ultimately we don’t know.

“You can buy a house with your own money” someone told me when I was a kid.

Last week I calculated that if I save every penny and dont spend a thing for the next 47 years I might have just enough to get myself a small house (hoping of course that inflation doesn’t happen otherwise it would be a shame to save +500.000 euro 😂)

They didn’t say where though. I bet in some country you can buy a house for less than 10k

Yeah, I recently bought my own house. I had to move to a rural area 2000 miles away from all my family and friends. But I did it.

Congrats! Did you do it with your own money? (So no borrowing! Not that that is bad)
