    I’m doing what I can, and encourage others to do the same cuz why not; but also under no illusion that our efforts are going to even delay our extinction by a meaningful amount.

    We’re at the mercy of some miracle-tier scientific breakthroughs, or literal divine/extraterrestrial intervention. There’s a shred of hope in the former, but realistically, we’re fucked.

      Hey now, we won’t go extinct. Some of the ultra wealthy will likely survive in their bunkers! That’s probably comforting right

      one big disease could thanks snap the population. how we would survive afterwards is another question.

      but high pop loads lead to more chance of drastic collapse.
