    Yeah, I read Sapiens too.

    Still, I suspect it’ll shift the balance of power away from us for long enough to allow nature to take back some control. As a species we’ve lost our way and we won’t stop until the planet is dead or it wipes us out. That’s the bottom line.

    This could be the only planet within a million light years with complex, conscious life and we’re systematically destroying it for conveniences like single serve ketchup.

      This could be the only planet in the universe with any kind of life, but humans have never been good at working together in large groups, we just can’t really deal with more than a few hundred people at most.

      It’s amazing how positive solutions never come to the minds of anyone who talks about this.

      Human expansion into space is a likely outcome too. Haven’t you considered that?

        Hope in space industry being developed by the so hated corporations from the internet? Spear headed by capitalism? In a thread about climate change? On this site? You surely jest

          Unironically it’s probably our only hope to save ourselves and nature itself, or what will be left of it if predictions pan out.
