    We might limit the damage enough to retain a civilization-supporting planet

      I’m all for doing everything we can, but I think we may have to scale down what we mean by civilization at the point of acceleration we’re already at, we need to start prioritizing the things from this period that are useful and worth preserving. Because the way we currently live is coming to a close whether we like it or not unless someone invents some Star Trek shit

      That is the weakest, most watered down non-objective ever. I pity anyone forced to live on the planet we are currently leaving behind. It would be more merciful to potential future life to just give up, stop procreating and stop acting like we give a shit.
      The human race is a failure. Call the experiment concluded. We lost. And, we did it to ourselves. Pathetic.

      (Ideally, we’d just turn everything off now and quietly go extinct without doing further damage, to be honest. We know we’re going to fail, yet we continue to pull every other species in along with us. But, we’re not even decent enough to do that.)
