    A lot of people have to die for the world to sort itself out. I see it starting now, soon there will be wars on every continent.

      It doesn’t have to be that way, but I expect it will continue to be.

      Humans seem to be bad at seeing past zero-sum solutions to problems.

      Very true, so long as it begins with the most carbon-emitting people (e.g. western billionaires who own large pollution-emitting corporations) and works its way down

      Why? By all measures the world is better decade after decade.

      Poverty is down, famine is down, average life expectancy is up. NATO and MAD are doing their job and no world War 3 has broken out, and given how support of NATO is enough to make Russia unable to conquer Ukraine, so they certainly aren’t a global threat.

      We have the technology to fix any problem we currently have, and past trends say we will do it, just takes some time.
