How DO You Think the World Will End...

Probably from pollution.

Our world will become inhabitable and we won't be able to develop technologies to combat it or help us evacuate in time.

How long will this take? That I do not know.

So . . . we've got about a week left. Enjoy! and Merry Christmas.

 

I don't know how the world will end but I suspect it will happen at halftime of the Superbowl where the Texans are up by 6 touchdowns

T.S. Elliot, "The Hollow Men" : This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper

Merry Christmas Everyone!

 

I'm not sure humanity ends, however, our kids and grandkids will have a much different world than the one we have known. It's clear that there are inhabitable places now that will become uninhabitable in the near (1-3 generations) future. We have some models, but still very little clarity about the scale and scope and timeline. It's exceedingly difficult to accurately account for cascading failures.

My guess is we go into a modern dark age--Idiocracy style--with lots of starvation and mass migrations leading to large conflicts as groups fight for resources, including water.

I occasionally think about Neal Stephenson's world-building opening to Anathem and it would not surprise me if we eventually end up with something similar.

Idk how, but Pete Hegseth will probably be drunk on a group chat telling his lawn guy and mistress about the incoming nuke when it happens.

 

Wow, such a dick!

 

it's how govts generate easy cash and worry about it later. they'll keep on increasing the pop so it will be up to the next lot to worry about it.

 

massive natural disaster on a scale never before seen

virus that spreads as easily as Covid, but is far more deadly…Covid virus with Bubonic Plague mortality

global pandemic, no reason to assume we can come up with a vaccine, or optimize effective containment, for every single future variant or new organism

 

Don't forget rfk has gutted the CDC and has cut hundreds of millions of dollars in vaccine research.... we've never been more unprepared

 

What about the "old variants" and "old organisms" that we haven't been exposed to for many thousands of years, that are now currently getting thawed out of the Arctic permafrost?
