of course we should be using all renewables now (as well as nuclear), but the world will only need more and more energy in the future. Sustainables are a bridge and a supplement, but for long term security, fusion is the answer. fusion empowers us to do whatever humanity is capable of.
i see a lot of naysaying in the comments and a lot of superstition.
the one thing you all got right is that it will never work in the hands of capitalists. however, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work in the hands of academia.
another thing that i think somebody in this comment section got right is the acceleration of fusion power. it’s obvious that fusion power works. we just can’t work out the details to make it net positive and scalable. i think those things are possible, and that we need all the help we can get to develop it.
something i don’t see people mentioning is how an AI properly trained on human behavior could lead us down a path of sustainability without making us feel like we were forced to. with the right carrots and sticks, you can lead humanity to water and make it drink.
but none of this is possible without abandoning capitalism and unifying the world. we have to move away from nation states and fiat currency. and guess who are the people that stubbornly cling on to these concepts across cultures? conservatives and the religious - these are the two most cancerous concepts in the human species. roughly half of the human population across all cultures are backwards minded people clinging on to outdated concepts and unwilling to let go of the idea.
if you can figure out how to eliminate conservatism and religion, utopia is within reach.
stop trying to make sense of it. logic fails on the average conservative. you have to realize that there is no reasoning with them. that’s the first step. once you do, you can then begin to ask yourself, “what do we do to stop them?”
it’s not. at any point, if enough people band together, we can make anything happen, with or without the government’s support. we are looking down the barrel of global catastrophe. at some point, we have to do something.
it won’t change their minds.
and the more they shove this stuff into the curriculum, the dumber the people get. the dumber the people get, the more likely we are to sleepwalk into the next global catastrophe. the entire future of the world seems to hinge on what the people who are alive now do. so what do we do?
and how do you deal with that?
did the current, living Amish oppress them? did I? did you? who is the “you” in your sentence?
they were all born there. we need to stop considering ancestors and consider the living.
agreed. technically, both are native.
of course it is. don’t be ashamed. embrace the dark side.
you should def hold your breath on that one.
boomers figured out the other mediums.

flying squid just likes to drive engagement because they’re a lemmy addict. arguing with them is about as useless as arguing with a conservative.
ignore these people and focus on garnering support for final solutions. the people are getting close to being as fed up as they can be. all we need is a populace that’s ready to act on a push notification.
we all get it. the next step is DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
pointing out hypocrisy is so pointless. does anyone on the left not realize that they’re all hypocrites? please raise your hand if you need that explained.
ok. next issue on the docket: what are we going to do about it?
In my fantasies, Greta becomes the most feared revolutionary - like a new age Boudica, and sets the world to rights in a rampage of justice.
