WTF is this for a headline?
Reluctant?
The world is being fucked, we all know it won't last, but politicians just continue this, full well knowing that future generations, if they'll even be able to exist, will burn.
Politicians have no spine, care only about their own position and power, and don't give a shit about what's to happen, they'll just make sure they have the next scapegoat ready for their constituents to hate.
There is this thing is science that says we're not special, we don't live in a special area of the universe, we don't live in special times.
Somehow though, it's hard to escape this feeling that things are special. Two centuries ago, people saw the start of a single revolution in the world, the industrial revolution. I saw the remnants of the electrical revolution, the computer revolution, the Internet revolution and the mobile phone revolution. I've seen how the world was and how it now is. I've seen the world get better and better for a long time and then there was 2016 when things turned around. Trump 1 wasn't so much the cause as a symptom. By now we live in the age of misinformation and lies.
Back in the day, during the ozone crisis, the entire world banded together to come to a solution, and it worked. The ozone layer is going to be fine. The climate change crisis though, not so much. Noone cares,noone even wants to talk about it, and politicians freely spout misinformation so that they can ignore the problem and the press doesn't give a shit either, in the US at least.
In the meantime I've seen climates change myself. I've seen snow disappear and never come back in many places. I see the now near year round forrest fires, and I see no one with the power to stop it care.
With all of this it's hard not to feel like I'm living in a special moment; the end of humanity or at least human civilization and let's be clear: climate change is the one that can actually break human civilization. It will kill millions, that we can't really avoid anymore, but it has the potential to kill us all.
And what are the tech bros doing about this? Well let's fly to Mars! Why fix this place if the rich and powerful have an escape route?
I hate the religious end-timers, they always predict tr world will end based on nothing, but now they actually accidentally might be right, just that repenting won't change anything for anyone. There is no god, we're out here alone and help isn't on the way. We have to save this world, but we won't. Those in power don't care, those not in power won't protest, so there is nothing to be done.
We do live in he end times
