I believe in the potential of humanity. I believe in the human ability of compassion and cooperation. We are still essentially in the dark ages, human civilization is only around 12,000 years old. There has been unprecedented rapid technological development in the past 200 years and it takes time as a species to adjust to all of this. Humanity is going through growing pains as things balance out and the fact is that our species is going to live on for thousands of years more and longer. I fully believe that while our current civilization is decaying and receding and war in the near future with societal decay is inevitable, the society that humans have in the far future will seem utopian compared to our standards now. We have the ability to create a fair and just world, societal systems develop as well as technology does. While the current system is unfair and easy to slip through the cracks, its a first step into the whitepill world of tomorrow. I believe, anons. Humanity is going to make it.
Well I won't see any of it. Fuck this stupid bourgeois earth
I believe the exact opposite, I think humanity has reached its peak in technology evolution and the lifestyle of the modern western citizen is highly unsustainable
These mere facts should concern you:
>the majority of the energy produced by society is still obtained from fossil fuels, there is no real alternative
>every year many lands become infertile and are no longer suitable for agricultural production, meaning there is less food every year while the demand keeps growing
>climate change will make life unbearable in the near future, the earth is becoming hotter every year
>it is statistically probable that one day there will be another global pandemic with high mortality rates, like COVID or black plague it may become a recurring event
>space travel is impossible for humans, our physics models do not make it possible for us to create gravity or bend space
>the global population is growing and economic/political instability is rising everywhere, the citizen of the future will own nothing
>pollution is everywhere and cancer is multiplying, we literally live immersed in microplastics, there is no way this planet will be restored
>homelessness is becoming a common thing, the housing market will become unaccessible for the majority of the population due to constant renovations, no more space for building new ones, property taxes, etc…
>crime is also rising in every major city, meaning the distrust and lack of empathy is turning into normality
In the end, the citizen of the future will be poor, unhealthy and nomadic
The future will have more less similar woes as the pastand present
To dismiss the current era woes as "growing pains"and glorifying the prospect of extensive lifespan is selfish
>>779269Technology has plateaued.
Most tech development nowadays is just more software update of surveillance systems.
I don't think tech has peaked.
Also,there were far more potent industrial pollutants back then.
We used to make clocks with radium on the dials
We used to have mercury for hats
We also had far worse plagues.
There used to be alot more crime in the big cities that went unreported/unsolved
Also "empathy" is thrown around too much as an inverted slur towards people who dont conform to societal expectations of external affect.
>fatalism
Really?
>>779274just nitpicking without proving anything wrong
>>779269crime is not "rising in every major city", absolutely ridiculous claim
also the housing crisis has nothing to do with "constant renovations, no more space for building new ones, property taxes"
>>779303Crime is probably going down because it's harder to get away with stuff and also harder to steal stuff. Security cameras everywhere plus stores keep locking more stuff away also less people carrying cash. Maybe if people really are having less sex then less chance for crimes of passion.
>>779261That game was peak
recently i saw a mother post about her missing daughter on social media. after a couple of weeks she started getting texts from multiple scammers asking for money saying they had kidnapped the girl
so this is what youre putting your faith in
>>779446>>I believe in the potential of humanity. I believe in the human ability of compassion and cooperation.>Debunked several times throughout history.you consistently manage to be the most retarded poster in every thread, congratulations
>>779457It's not through compassion and cooperation that humanity binds itself together but, ultimately, by force and coercion. You absolute buffoon.
the future is basically going down two paths.
- dystopia techno feudalism where the poor are worse than peasants and the rich are immortal
- a communist utopia where the rich pass out thier money to the poor through various taxes, ubi, charties.
>>779471I would rather kill global techno Leviathan in its infancy than clumsily experiment with such paths, yes, because humanity simply cannot be trusted
I would rather decelerate immensely and choose no path at all.
Nothing happens, and guess what?
That's a good thing. In the right context.
Acceleration is only good if you know where you're headed
And you don't
I do though
>>779485true cum-sm has never been tried
AND Marx pretty much was not a fan of revolutions - he expected capitalists to realise they're overproducing so much stuff they might have handed some out to The G-Man in exchange for a safety net of sorts, leading to the world where scarcity is an exception thing and not the norm.
>>779485there are more cishet discord users tha you think
>>779471People always complain about blackpillers but then will complain about how the end times are here because "muh AI"
>>779622I'm not the other guy who answered but I genuinely think heading straightforward to the unknown with these technologies is kind of insane, but of course we absolutely must get to the cutting edge or else god forbid some other nationstate is going to outpace everyone else with this, yes such a good idea
While we're at it why don't we just give all thirdworld nations nukes so they can just destroy this dumbass planet anyway
