'' | ''Every part per million (ppm) we go past 400ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere increases our chance of a disaster happening. Whilst the everyday chances of something happening is rmeote, everyday by doing nothing we are purchasing an accumulative lottery ticket for doomsday. The most likely occurrence would be if we remove the foundations of [[Maslow's hierarchy]] of human needs lack of '''water and food''' which causes mass migration would be the most likely tipping point. “Only a crisis – actual or perceived – '''produces real change'''. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around.”'' | ||

''The goal is to figure out what are the best ideas lying around and [[contrast]] them. There are two players. One a nihilistic machine whose sole goal is the accumulation of profit, the other is us. However both are on the same ship. The machine is killing the life support that we are both on, they dont fully realise it yet but they are starting to. There will come a point where some of the cogs working within the machine will start realising we are both on the same ship and realise it needs to stop. The realisation will most probably come from environmental black swans. Hurricanes, floods, famine. There are accelerationist amongst us. Who believe this point is inevitable and hedonistically consume quickening all of our demise. You have to believe we can save the ship, look at your children, look at the ground, underneath the bones of thousands of generations of your ancestors. Then look to the sky, a lifeless, dark universe. Lets not be proof of Fermi's paradox. Lets sort this shit out.'' | ''The goal is to figure out what are the best ideas lying around and [[contrast]] them. There are two players.
