    I read things like this and I take comfort in the thought that the planet will be fine. We can’t knock it out of orbit or blast it into tiny bits. It will keep going. Life will be fine. It has survived worse extinction events before and bounced back. Humans are fucked, but reading this, I think we deserve it.

      That’s the sad thing, I’m not sure the majority deserve it. The minority surely has the capability to make the world a better place but then it likely ruins the status quo of inequality they’ve been nurturing.

        I think the majority don’t care enough to actually do anything. Just mention eating less meat or using public transport a bit more, and most people lose their fucking minds at the thought. There are very few people actually willing to make any sort of effort to actually keep the world habitable.

    If you have 100 people walking the street, a couple will walk into a lamppost. You can blame the lamppost-or stupidity.
