I’m very scared, it feels like the world is about to fall apart. I will also remember a passage that I heard, and which does not seem to be a joke: you will own nothing, and will be happy! And it seems that this is gradually becoming a reality.
What scares you?
I understand there’s a little variance here in terms of the timeline and specific causes, but I don’t think it matters much. Even if tech were to fail completely (unlikely) there’d still be a sizable number of humans who survive by living in caves and falling back on bushcraft. Where I live in the US there are 2500 caves within a few hundred miles, and those are just the ones we know of.
That said, I have a similar expectation with regard to technology. Necessity is the mother of invention and a combination of technology and necessary social policy changes will help mitigate the effects of climate change, though it won’t happen worldwide and it’s going to be a cataclysm for the human race for sure.
Makes me glad that I didn’t procreate.
