Obligatory it's not the computers it's capitalism comment.

        And we all know that that won't happen. It never ceases to amaze me that we, as a race, made it so far and discovered so many things that the way we live must seem like magic to our ancestors, if there were to see it. And on the other hand you have so many idiots running around that you lose faith in humankind as a whole.

        I don't think we will make it. We're still too primitive to grow beyond our deficits.

      I don't think we need to worry about that. If we don't stop capitalism, we're not going anywhere.

      I don’t think so tbh… The Expanse feels more probable, in its economic and class dynamics. Same old shit you know? We just find (or create…) new peoples to colonize.

      This small parcel of human beings who are (at least slightly) sociopathic kinda won out. Thousands of years ago they started out their project, and now they rule the world.

      If we don’t destroy capitalism, it will keep doing what it does, reinventing itself so it exists forever.
