I reject this level of nihilism. Things are bad, and the future may be bleak, but to give up now is to forfeit any chance of it ever getting better.

A better future IS possible. We CAN build it. We WILL build it.

    Of course there will be a future, for some values of it. Overshoot resulting in die-off will leave a residual population that is sustainable within the carrying capacity of the degraded ecosystem, after all.

    Oh I think we're most likely doomed, but that doesnt mean I'm ready to throw in the towel.

    It really does seem we're marching headstrong into like 6 different great filters simultaneously though lol.
