And do you think humanity as a whole is intelligent, organised, and altruistic enough to willingly 'take a different path'?

Most motherfuckers wouldn't even wear masks during covid and yet you think they're going to embrace this? Lmao.

Good for you Genius, I wish you luck organising your anarcho-communist militias and forming the authoritarian dictatorships of your dreams.

[-] Iapetus@slrpnk.net -2 points 11 hours ago

Well obviously we organise into armed militias and overthrow the government in a communist revolution first.

Oh bless, that's so cute and just utterly fucking hysterical. I'm struggling not to ask if you're 14 and have just discovered Marx. Wow, I genuinely haven't laughed this hard in a while, that was a work out.

I'm on slrpnk.net because I've been following climate science for probably longer than you've been alive.

So anarchist vigilantes smashing rich people's stuff is in line with your government?

Your government who you trust to ignore industry lobby money but also vote majorities, is going to ban the sale of cars?

Where the fuck do you live and how is this government of yours even worse than the laughing stock Trump's is?

And why would rich people not hire armies to protect themselves from these government sanctioned droves of roaming '"""anarchist"""' vigilantes out to smash their stuff?

Cool cool. So how have people taken this lifestyle advice so far? Have they been receptive to it? How many vegans who don't drive, do you know? Because I only know one, me.

Forcing this behavioral change in people might be the only way... but I think that's called fascism, no?

Hey ho, anything to save our awful species though. So, who do you have in mind as dictator in your region? I bet cars being confiscated and forced veganism is going to go down a treat with your neighbours.

Top soil is what food grows in. Without top soil, we can't grow food.

Did you know 90% of Earth’s topsoil is at risk of depletion by 2050? It might throw a wrench into this perfect utopia being planned here.

Humanity won't develop altruistic tendencies at the last second, I mean ffs we haven't yet in all of recorded history, so why in the our final 50 years of climate apocalypse and resource wars, would we?

We deserve to die off and we should, our species is terrible. All fantasies otherwise are illogical.

Why are you amazed? Have you lived your whole life under a rock? People have always been like this, it's never been hidden or even remotely pretended otherwise.

And do you think that's likely to happen any time soon in the real world?

It's all well and good coming up with theories on paper but if your theories only work on paper, then don't count them as solved.

Do you think plastic waste ending up in the ocean, is some kind of industry sanctioned punishment for falling birthrate or something? Or were you being sarcastic?

Imposing such a drastic change in living conditions for the the whole population of this planet is impossible. The rich will not allow it and everybody who isn't worse off than the conditions suggested here will fight it. Most people won't even consider going vegetarian, for fucks sake.

Using this study as proof that there are enough resources to support billions more people is beyond stupid. Humans are not an altruistic species. We already have the money and resources to adequately support everyone already existing, but just flat out refuse to, and always have.

Adding more people to this hellworld because some naive study assumes that at the last second of the eleventh hour before we hit 3c warming and run out of fresh water and arable land, we will evolve into a species capable of physics defing magic and perfect communism... is really, really, REALLY fucking stupid.
