Multiple southern states and a few midwestern states are at “extreme threat” levels of “wet bulb temperature”.
If we were in the right timeline we would have fixed our dependance to fossil energy a long ass time ago.
Instead we’ve got a bunch of people who still believe vaccines causes autism because the internet told them that.
When did we fail going forward? As humanity, I mean.
Just don’t believe this is anything new. Back in time, people used to seriously believe in faeries, trolls, deamons, angels and other supernatural phenomena.
That’s how you could lead people to carry holy wars and consider serfdom and slavery as natural order of things.
Back in the 80’s, I remember a report from an ethnologist going to Nepal and meeting people who seriously believed that Russians had goat feet.
If anything, the internet has revealed the credulity of the general population, and provides means to fight and contain superstitions of various kinds.
I’m an optimist.
It’s really so sad and frustrating for those under the age of 45. Millennials were raised during a time of prosperity and possibilities, only to find out it was all a sham by the selfish, stupid and mostly older generations. Now Millennials, Gen Z and Gen A will reap the outcomes of all that while those who caused it will die off before things get even worse. I harbor no resent towards Gen X, but their refusal to fight the tide certainly didn’t help.
Do you hang out with people under 45?
People are selfish and stupid no matter the age. My city is full of people driving gas guzzlers, traveling all the time, and ordering UberEats for every meal. They are all under 45. Then gen Z are particular bad and refuse to use public transit.
It’s not about age. It’s about class/wealthy. The poor use far fewer resources than the wealthy do. Rich young people are living in 5000sq ft homes by themselves and burning through natural gas and oil. They aren’t living in 500sq ft apartment like ordinary folks.
