we will all be nuked, cooked to death from climate change or frozen, drowned or executed for being different. People will hate immigrants even more bc of climate cjange, people wil be even more hateful than they are now, thx to ai. It will be common place for brown people and openly queer people to be beat in public, protests won’t help that. It’s over its so so over, why was I born in the age of this I just want to live in my house and draw and be with my dogs why do I have to deal with this anymore I don’t want to anymore its so exhausting I just want to exist but my existence scares and angwrs people when I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore
humanity has been through far worse and we’ve been able to somehow survive it. it’s in our hands to make sure we all make it. help each other, work together, clench your fist, be resilient. we can make it out alive.
Humanity has never been to the brink of literally permanently destroying the entire planet
It literally has. The cold war had 70,000 nukes between USA and Russia pointed at one another. Cuban Missile Crisis, misjudged alerts that a single person stopped from causing a nuclear attack, WWII, etc.
well, the biggest loss of primordial forest in europe happened during the roman conquests. we now have more forests in Europe than at the peak of the roman empire. the end of the ice age also caused a massive loss in biodiversity, in turn fueled by humans overhunting. moreover, the black death, cholera and tuberculosis are all “manmade”, in the sense that keeping livestock and living in an interconnected supply chain inevitably generates pandemics. so it depends on how you see it.
we’re also doing very good when it comes to renewables. scientists have concluded that we’re not in the worst-case scenario for climate change any longer.

fair point, i guess the more correct phrasing would be “I’m optimistic about the investment in renewables I’m seeing, given that I always assumed it will simply not happen”
