Late stage capitalism, fascism [...] and ww3 is currently in the process of kicking off.

If one doesn't believe a revolution or significant change isn't imminent and necessary (within the next 5 years), they aren't paying attention or they are not informed. I don't care what your ideology is (and how capitalist you are) — comprehensive action and change, specifically solutions, need to manifest soon.

WW3 can fuck right off, it takes soldiers and willing participants to fight. We had massive desertion in the Vietnam War, I reckon that if the world was able to focus just for a second on common dreads and our shared reality, we'd identify that we can't afford to continue the current world order and state of affairs and discontinue hostile actions.

War is a wet dream for the capitalists at the very top of the food chain, who are likely frightened that they no longer can maintain their power without it.

resource depletion

Resource depletion implies that we continue our state of affairs — with our reliance on fossil fuels and other non-renewable materials, at a large and very wasteful scale.

Infinite growth on a finite world is fundamentally unsustainable. We are blasting through tipping points and heat records daily now and the world is still fundamentally reliant on fossil fuels, despite how fast ‘renewable resources’ are developing.

Scaling vertical farms, renewable energy, and energy storage (that doesn't use rare earth materials) are not crazy suggestions. We can build high speed rail powered by renewables, that carries freight and also passengers. We can develop sustainable economies of scale and rethink the global economy.

Our planet can support humanity and every living being on it for the foreseeable future if we take action.

climate collapse

We can mitigate effects of the climate collapse by moving our agriculture indoors and growing food where it's natural, rational, and sustainable to do so — in addition to exploring new soil and agricultural practices. We can leverage GMO technology sustainably and keep it in balance with the environment.

We can encourage degrowth and decentralization. We can centralize where it makes sense (with all of our centralization being designed to be sustainable and self-sufficient). We will already have to move many cities for various reasons, we are positioned to make development make sense instead of creating urban, ecosystem-disrupting, concrete and asphalt hellholes.

We can build our houses better and refit houses to better withstand climate effects, without expending a ton of energy to do so.

I get that people want hope, but believing in entropy defying magic that will rewrite physics and human nature and save us all from ourselves at the last second… is naive at best and actively harmful at worst.

You don't need entropy defying magic to address the current world system and the many crises we are facing. I believe it's undesirable to advocate doom and worst-case scenarios without considering what is in our power and advocating for it.

I don't believe human nature is inherently violent or greedy. I believe our system elevates and enables people with these character traits — we need to rethink it and the power they have over others.

We need to shift our collective mindset from lack and survival in imbalance (and in a sea of abundance), to thriving in balance with nature.

but maybe think twice before having kids.

People already aren't having kids at the rate that they once were, global birth rate is on the decline year after year, and fertility is down by a lot for a lot of reasons.
