[Has] Humanity really survived at that point[?]

Yeah. And probably found a new way to live. Do you consider Humanity to be intrinsically tied to modern society?

Just the tip?

I love to see it, and I genuinely hope you’re right!

I’m sorry. I promise I’m a big picture optimist, if that helps! 😜

Just for clarification, I don’t think it’ll be fast. It will just be faster than without it.

Also, I think we’ll hang on to a lot because the survivor base will likely be made up of people from all walks of life. STEM Professionals, teachers, carpenters, you name it. And as long as we learned our lesson about religion, we’ll pass that knowledge on.

Mass extinction, not complete extinction.

It’s not hubris. Humans are one of, if not the most adaptable species on the planet. Unless it gets so hot that the caves become uninhabitable, we’ll squeak by.

I see it like this: If there is a way, we will find it. It’s in our DNA.

This quote really stuck with me. It’s where I see the silver lining:

“Blessed are those who plant trees under whose shade they will never sit.”

It was a shower thought?

It just hit me in a sobering kinda way.

That’s where we disagree. I think there will be small inhabitable areas of the planet for centuries, at least. If not, there are caves. Humans are nothing if not -persistent.-

It just hit me in a sobering sorta way.

100% . I love to see it!

We survived an ice age, though, and we’re very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

I think you’re selling us short! 😜

What do you disagree with, though?

No Mans Sky might be a good idea.

The people who need to hear you aren’t on Lemmy.

Thank you. This is a fantastic response to these types of messages.

Can’t wait to see the book. /s

It’s AI now… It sees everything…

…it was a shower thought. No need to be sarcastic.

Conservatism is about slowing change. Change causes fear in those who are not adequately prepared to meet it. This is a symptom of someone who is mentally unhealthy. The level of fear is proportionate to the overall level of mental health.

All that to say: I think those with disorders are more likely to be conservative, but to a certain level conservatism is healthy.

MAGA on the other hand? That deserves to be seen as a disorder, imo.
