Well, yes. Humanity as a whole will probably stop sucking ass before it gets wiped out completely. Though it might cost us a few billion. Lives, I mean, not dollars.
Got me worried there for a min, losing dollars would be unrecoverable! /s
I’m very much doom driven, but the past has taught me that humans tend to work their way through it.
Yeah, good luck fighting entropy.
Surfing entropy.
Ride the stardust wave into an agricultural mountain dew future. It’s what plants love.
Also basic human behavior.

thank you for making this point. capitalist realism is a huge barrier to people imagining a better future.
Of course it is. Humans have always been extremely greedy and selfish.
Things would be much worse if we didn’t have regulations to control human behavior, and in the US we’re about to experience what happens when those regulations disappear.

Objection: feels like copeposting
I have no idea if we will, but I want to give it the best god damn chance we can get.
I don’t want to get along with anyone, but this is the outcome I hope for.
(Everyone just needs to come to the conclusion that I’m right and we’ll be able to live happily.)
Some humans will work it out for themselves.
That is all.
Oh, absolutely. Humans will prevail. But right now the forest is on fire and many of us are the small bits on the forest floor that will be completely consumed by the oncoming fire. The destruction will test the perseverance of everything and the burgeoning that follows will be another minor Renaissance, like the period between WW2 and the Internet. When ignorance reigns and sequels are the only entertainment, expect the worst.
How many died before France got the revolution it needed to eventually make things better?
How many need to die right now for shit to happen so things finally start improving?
We might prevail in the end, but how long will we suffer in the meantime?
China also is “stable” but an authoritarian shit hole.
Life and the economy goes on but under an oppressive regime
Fun fact: my exes great grandfather modeled for Rockwell for this painting.
Don’t think so. Nothing in history proves we can. This era seems to be on the way out so we we’ll have some sort of collapse.
Nothing in history proves we can
Bruh, now you’re just talking nonsense. History proves shit about the future, and its kinda sad that you cant name a single great thing in history
We’re still here. Through each of the roughest times in history, humans have pulled through. We’ll keep pulling through, of that much I’m certain. Will it be in the same form? Eeeeeeeeeeh
I’ll be brave and say that I don’t think we deserve to.
This species deserves nothing but a quick extinction.
Edit: Sorry didn’t realize what community this was
How dare you? Drop that optimism and start panicking like the rest of us!
I wish I could still belive that
For a little while. Then it’s back to plundering and pillaging. :/
