won’t stop until they […] are physically stopped by something like climate change

Ah I see you're an optimist.

I have just come to acceptance with who we are, and enjoy the accidental poetry of our reckless worship of greed/gluttony/growth/metastasis being our, accelerating going by the latest science still going on deaf ears, end.

I also enjoy all the very corporate culture like bargaining that's going on with cold, hard, unflinching physics. Oh we won't make our non-binding emissions goals and grid standards, so we'll just roll those back, the climate will understand!

We're tackling our own self-inflicted, reverse terraforming climate disaster with the stages of grief because we refuse to stop and change how we live to find homeostasis with this world, so this isn't going to end well, and just like with clean coal/corn ethanol/plant a tree offsets/planet scale carbon scrubbers and all the other private profit driven snake oil "solutions," we aren't going to science up a magic bullet to save us from the epically irresponsible actions of our epically irresponsible species.

In-fuckin-deed. All the talk about "carbon capture" schemes makes my skin crawl.

Well it's either that or delusional parasitosis that makes my skin crawl, but anyhow.

Of all the Dystopias, I think we're closest to Elysium at the moment.

I see The Road primarily, but I could also give a nod to The Road Warrior..

Wake me up when we get to Thunderdome

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, although without the cool space station and cyberpunk-ish tech. I doubt we'll get that far.

True, though I hope we'll see a few variations of Killdozer crop up before the end.
