we're all going to die in the next 30-45 years. if you believe otherwise, you are delusional.
there's no stopping, avoiding or getting around the impending hellscape which will manifest as society and global supply lines collapse.
how did we get here, and is it possible to even navigate this reality without pointing fingers at specific groups of people and calling for subjugation and annihilation?
are humans simply fated to meet our demise of our own creation and ideation after overcoming so many hurdles most creatures literally cannot contemplate?
it's an upper limit, most people have just over a decade...

fearmongering? and yes, we can guarantee. it's called statistical likelihood; it's been a guarantee against many threats for a very long time.
as you say, we don't want to be paranoid or monger fear. the only thing guaranteed now is eventual extinction in the near term.

nuclear physics in its essence is not complex. we are well equipped to have more than a 'layman's' understanding to negotiate it. the first steps were difficult but that's an issue with development. I have fused hydrogen in a hobby setting without a college education, along with MILLIONS of other hobbyists in developed countries. don't impose your ignorance on others.
You're making foolish leaps in this discussion; my bringing up crucial discoveries has nothing to do with manifest suicidal behavior.
the evidence has to do with current situations of a social nature and have nothing to do with scientific progress..

Ayden Ortiz
As convinced as you may be that any more CO2 in the air could cause the end of all life on Earth, you’d probably need quite a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere compared to current levels. The Earth has had several thousand parts per million in the atmosphere before, compared to today’s 400 ppm.
Really I don’t think Carbon Dioxide is a main climate driver and don’t completely believe man-made Global Warming is an issue. Natural causes like the Sun appear to be the real drivers. Carbon Dioxide contributes to only 0.04% of Earth’s atmosphere so a small increase probably won’t do much- in fact it has been scientifically found that additional CO2 will cause relatively less warming.
The Human Blood has around 2000–3000 ppm of CO2 in it so humans may be able to survive in that concentration in the atmosphere, but it would still be unpleasant.
I highly doubt we could ever possibly put that much CO2 in the atmosphere but if we somehow manage to do that and it does have significant effect on the Earth, we’d probably by the time have found a way around it. Depending on the technology we could be able to survive in very high concentrations into the future.
Andrew Powell
yup, you play this game pretty good!

Austin Reed
cancer has to do with modernizing warfare and decentralized industrial production of consumer goods including food. nuclear waste has very little to do with it.
Eli Fisher
instead of doctoring the graph, why not post it going back millions of years? Is it because that would show that this warming and ghg increase has happened before? Is it because it will show that the planet, in fact, is a hot and humid garden world and humans just evolved right in the perfect window at the end of an ice age?
We have 2 choices: continue to think we can stop this (and inevitably die while the ultra rich live in their New Zealand bug out shelters) or adapt and innovate out of this.

Lucas Rivera
I'll make you a bet. Fuck all catastrophic happens to Earth.
Landon Russell
You're assuming my entire impetus has to do with CO2, which is very convenient for your statement.
It's an indicator of many interrelated issues
Greenhouse warming causes soil expansion, water expansion, release of methane from the oceanic floor (containing virtually 80% of all soluble methane on the planet) and more subtly, toxicity for low-complexity fauna. that's the tip of an iceberg.
water expansion creates variable sea level and threatens global currents fundamentally.
air toxicity triggers runaway effects on thermal density of air, not just greenhousing.
we don't live in a fucking snowglobe. the earth is alive but not for much longer. We can survive these things, but society cannot. societal collapse needs a very short break in global supply to occur, and any number of issues will cause this. die-offs of pollinators is the biggest issue now. even if we do well in remitting CO2, we'll have to worry about access to resources such as phosphorous, which will be limited and made insoluble for industrial application by conditions in the near future.

Well, we had a good run.
I mean, really, what are you all bitching about. You're all talking about "the end of the world" but it'll become inhospitable to us and pretty much any mammal over 5 lbs. And there will be a mass extinction event, as there is every so often, and then life will start again. Maybe with the bees or the ants this time.
So it's not the end of the world, but the end of humanity. And considering our response to it, is it worth saving? We're stupid, short sighted, cruel, greedy, etc. There's nothing worth saving.
Noah Wilson
EXACTLY! No one ever wants to factor in the fact that humans started from nothing, though.
Colton Miller
is this question ironic? I can barely tell. it's likely always been the people with access to the best resources that have innovated the best technologies, with exception of course 'ultra rich' has always been a demographic since humans stopped being nomadic, and likely even before then in some instances
Kevin Clark
we didn't start from nothing. We have huge, resource-intensive and hot computers on our necks. It's been our most crucial asset
Alexander Garcia
Ultra mega giga rich used to be a category.
Zachary Morris
You seem sensible about this, but I disagree on the criticisms of humans at large. we've been suppressed and sequestered by organized and unorganized enemies since day 1.
we can do better, but we need an objective.
it's always been space. going to space was what the ancients dreamed of, and not acting on our ability to do so will be our demise.
Henry Ward
We can. But we don't. We have a threat to our humanity, but we're letting a group of rich assholes short term gains and our comfort determine not only our survival, hundreds or thousands of species on the planet. What's the advantage to the world or the future in us surviving? Perhaps we get to a certain point, technologically, kill ourselves, and the world starts again. We could temper our world with wisdom, but we won't. We have frogman mitch McConnell, we have some hedgefund fuckhead who's only interest is a boat he can impress his friends and whores with. You have tech moguls who are seen as "forward thinking" but are investing in "immortality tech" which is only interested in keeping people such as themselves alive. Because they view themselves as above humanity..
Is there really any benefit to our continued existence?
Enjoy the time we have. Be happy that more life will follow after us. Hopefully, they'll get it right. As for us, we fucked it up. In about 25000 years, after the radiation hits its half life and the earth consumes all of our mistakes we made in the past 15,000 years or so, it will start again with another species.
We aren't worth saving.
Austin Martinez
>Perhaps we get to a certain point, technologically, kill ourselves, and the world starts again.
I truly think this has happen before.
Chase Stewart
all the reactions here, as trivial as they are, support your conclusions.
I hope the Observers intervene before we reach that point. it's a bit irritating that this has been and will be a zero-sum game. if this is how humanity ends, intelligence is superficial and the universe is truly a horribly dark place.
Ian Edwards
maybe. we'll never know. we likely will die before we're capable of scraping past the surface of what passed even a few thousand years ago.
But wait, we have God, right? Big angry sky man. And that's our purpose. Old guy in robes tells us what's what. Guides our way. So it makes everything worth it, right? and then the world ends with a horn that goes off and guys on horses, right?
Because why not take our cues from a bunch of mentally ill assholes who talked to bushes 5000+ years ago.
>we're all going to die in the next 30-45 years. good, people if perceived globally are fucking retarded... using additional resources and wasting so much just because they get few more shekels that way and killing itself in the process is the most ironic way to go for an 'advances civilization'
Cooper Morgan
There's no observers. Nobody is here to save us. THere's no future people here to prevent our stupidity. We die. THere's no future people to save us because we have no future. We're a flash in the pan. 1.5 million years of hominid evolution wiped out because some cunt named BrookLynn swigging a vanilla latte decided your market needed to be sold more fish to make BirdsEyes 4th quarter gains in 2028, all so her boss could get his bonus this year and his daughter could go to Cabo for spring break to get pregnant by a guy named TayLore, because we're spelling peoples names phoentically now for some reason. WHo also is in marketing.
Samuel Hernandez
all we can do is testify. show that the individual is aware and cogniscent; if we do, someone (not the sky God) will one day see how foolish we were and learn from us. that may be our purpose, to show the next iteration what not to do.

Juan Rivera

the observers are there. can they do anything, and would they if they could? certainly not.
they probably cannot physically interact with us without trauma, by function or by nature. but to think we're the only participants in such a bizarre system is flawed. we're a billionth species to self-annihilate, but any intelligence within the near galaxy which has surpassed us *should* be aware of us even without signals or symbols. earth is one of those places; everyone for a long time should have expected life here. will it change anything? probably not. But it's a good reason to keep pressing on and up.
Adam Perez
Id been preaching this for near a decade. Self-preservation was always destined to be our downfall, especially when we try to reach more and more into the abstract parts of playing god with our lives. Our biggest fuck up was living passed 20 and continuing to fuck like rabbits. We never had self awareness, just an endless goal to be healthier for longer at the cost of whatever stands in their way, even if that means making certain animals extinct or deforesting entire countries. We were born unaware idiots, we will die as unaware idiots. Was a good run, i guess. Wouldve been better had we listened to the countless warnings during our progress.
Ian Lewis
lol man, imagine being this nihilistic and knowing you're gonna die.
Ian Williams
We don't know when we will die because we know too little of the effects of climate change. It's possible everything will go to complete shit in just a decade, but it's also possible that it will be very slow and that we find futuristic solutions to many of the problems that will be caused so that most people don't notice much even a hundred years from now.
Juan Thompson
nope, that's not how it works. 3 hours of interruption to the power grid, society is fucked. we all riot. The 3rd world is fine.
Blake Adams
Guys climate change is a jew consbiracy :DDDD
Jeremiah Rogers
and this is how stupid religions are started.
Begin with a lie, or someone taking a story like Fringe seriously, or just someone mentally ill or an overactive imagination, and then someone promoting it, and then someone grasping onto it so tightly because they have nothing else in their life. And then it spreads slowly by word of mouth, until it becomes doctrine and people become afraid to stand up to it.
And in the real world, we die because instead of acting we wait for saviors that never come, and we never gain wisdom. But we'd never reach it anyways, so no real loss.
But hey, some guy entertained himself with a fantasy for an hour or so
Isaac Miller

Doesn't matter. do what you want. have fun. if we survive, great. doesn't impact us. we don't doesn't impact us either. maybe we care about kids and what they have to deal with . but we'll be dead so who cares.

Ryan King
I agree, it's a 'stupid' ideal if it causes blind allegiance. the unadept will always abuse the comforts of a notional observer, for better or worse.
But it's also a reality given thermodynamic laws that something is watching, regardless of agency. you have to separate objectivity from likelihood to get anywhere, surely. Organized religion is truly mankind's bane, I'm with you there. are there inexplicable agents in our world also? it seems so, but they could care less if we die; that much is proven obvious we shouldn't bank on anything, no external probabilities. but does that mean there are none? It's a good reason to try, but some use it as a reason to stagnate. it's a debacle and feels to me like a test of resilience.

Daniel Wood
I remember seeing occupy wall street. i thought "huh, this might be interesting. maybe we'll make real reform."
And then i saw them take over the park where traders used to go to smoke in wall street and I thought "huh...doesn't seem viable"
Then i saw a bunch of guys in cat in the hat hats, and didgeridoos and bongos and hacky sacks show up and thought "uh uoh, this sounds familiar"
and then the communist / anarchist collective types with the big thick rimmed glasses showed up, and they began passing resolutions to reach a consensus with everyone by wiggling their fingers up if they agreed or down if they didn't and thought "okay, so it's gonna be this "peoples front of judea" bullshit" and eventually the movement died before it was born.
And I realized che guevara was right, and even his approach was bullshit, because his message got co-opted and turned into a t-shirt and a bunch of artists and niggers adopted his message as their own, even though he hated artists and niggers.
And that and a bunch of other stuff made me realize we were doomed as a species
Well, i didn't make a thread about it. But as for replying to it, why did they climb everest? because it was there.
Dont blame me because our reality is depressing. I didn't make it.

Jacob Hill
my reality is def not depressing... and the point was that, if it doesn't matter why bother typing shit
John Harris
Nobody is watching. In the grand scheme of a nearly infinite universe, nothing has any point. Shit, we could be a hologram. or a doomed system on the event horizon of a singularity that we can't even see. And in the end, it doesnt' matter because we'll never live long enough to find out, and even if we did find out, it wouldn't matter.
Live the life you're given, enjoy what you have, and hopefully don't get murdered by a nigger. that's about the length and breadth of what we can hope for in life.
because why not type shit. at least its something other than nothing. it has no real impact, except to our immediate situation. but beyond a hundred year or less scope, shit's pointless
Cooper Moore

The yellow vest in France are showing what can come with politcal action. Americans are just to 'meh' to actually get behind a movement. Other then niggers that have dreadlocks and didgeridoos.
Ryder Hall
yeah, "community" beyond a group of maybe 1000 people is as much of a fantasy as your run of the mill savior.
It's like women or niggers thinking they can "rise above it" with a list of grievances and hashtag protests.
Imagine you have something like occupy wall street. we saw what happened when the peaceful protest types came in. They passed resolutions and got chasedout buy cops with teargas and their own need to pay exorbitant rent in Williamsburg.
But what if starting about a week in they said "fuck it" and bumrushed the rentacops at bear sterns or goldman sachs, ran up the stairs and began dragging out executives into the park where they used ot go smoke, and they began beheading them with buck knives. Hedge fund managers from brooklyn who were days before throwing handfuls of mcdonalds job applications into the park to mock them.
What if they got more coordinated and started holding their families in their tents. Blocked off the streets with overturned cars. Said "fuck this passive demonstration shit" and began killing their spouses. Or held the CEO of those companies within a group ready to kill these very powerful men without a second thought?
How long until they began to take the demonstrations seriously? How long until the politicians who protected these bankers realized the public at large were against them and the people they protected, and recognized they needed a sacrifice to appease the people, and some reforms needed to be put into place?
Because as it stands, the only time these type of reforms get put into place is if rich people lose their money. Madoff, Enron, scams that lose billlionaires thousands that they feel they cant live without. Those enact genuine change. But not some poor white trash asshole losing his house because he got sold on a dream that was beyond his means.
And that's why no real change will occur.
Owen Watson
i was ready to take vacation, show up and start brandishing firearms at the doors of the NYSE but then I started seeing those pics you're describing.
american culture has become so diluted by comfort it's sickening. hardline communism would do future generations better at this juncture.
Evan Smith
And yet. you did nothing. as did everyone there. Because nobody was willing to sacrifice. It was something you WANTED but not something you NEEDED. Compared to say, the arab spring, we had comfortable lives. We lived quietly.
And don't be so quick to embrace communism. in a country this corrupt, we'd be at soviet levels of thugs and corruption within WEEKS.
At least with what we have, we can somewhat predict whats going to happen.
Liam Long
lol man, entertaining post. see my comment. I was ready to start the beheadings.
I was talking about the interstellar community, which is undoubtedly there. human communities bound by belief or ethics are not functional in any sense.
Jaxon Cooper
you're right. "I couldn't die for it, what would my family do?" It is what it is. No one expected we'd have to die to promote basic survival, but hindsight is 20/20. I would have died then knowing what I know now.
Nicholas Miller
well, ask yourself, was it worth it? If you had sacrificed it, would your families situation been significantly better if you had done it than if you hadn't, or was it just an idealists dream?
Reality and idealism are two very seperate things. I actually love the show Mr Robot for that. It shows this idealized version of the world this and 5-6 other people have, and the achieve it through sacrifice and hard work. And when it happens, nothing happens the way it is supposed to, and everything blows up in their face, and everything is worse in the end. Everyone goes into their projects saying "everything will be great when its my idealized idea of how things should be" and then it ends up far worse, and the best they can do is hope that the situation equalizes itself without too much death and misery.

Im all for peaceful protest, but if it isn't don't correctly you are 100% correct.
The golden standard for a correct peaceful protest would be like with Martin Luther King jr. Did during the Civil Rights Movement. But even then there were still mass violent demonstrations.
Im all for rekting house now. But stopping just short of murder.
> arab spring Meh, that was largely bsvk by outside influnaces, and the role a social media has been well over played in those foreign coup.
You point about corruption is none-the-less valid.
Yeah I really wasn't paying much attention to them way back then. Was in a spec ops until and my time was spent deploying and getting ready to deploy. Really wish I was mode intune to do what was going on back then.
The session didn't fully affect me because I was on active duty. But I really failed to see where is would take us. I was no doubt ignorant, and a foot soldier for the empire. But hey free college
>we're all going to die in the next 30-45 years. if you believe otherwise, you are delusional.
so, you are guaranteeing that I will live for at least 30 years, maybe as long as 45 years............
Benjamin Rogers
no, other people than she told us. but that's all you really know.
and it doesn't matter. either nothing will happen and you can gloat, or something will happen and the left can gloat while we all die, or nothing will happen. on either end and maybe something happens and maybe nothing happens and in the end both sides are a bunch of arrogant cunts that should be shoved into woodchippers to keep the world somewhat quiet
Logan Flores
>it's an upper limit, most people have just over a decade...
No, it isn't. Had OP said, we're all going to die within 30-45 years, than what you said would be correct. OP however, has stated that we shall all die between 30-45 years from now, so between 2049 to 2064.
Carson Hall
nope. it's an upper limit, read my wording.
Colton Sullivan
Jesus the keyboard on the Samsung Galaxy sucks
Owen Ross
oooof
James Reyes
eh, i'm not even okay with peaceful protests. it's just something that causes me to be late to work and then i get pissed at a bunch of yelly assholes on both sides.
Honestly, i would love to see lindsay graham and like, dan savage be forced to fuck at gunpoint. i'm sure lindsay graham would too, but when he went all spurty up dans ass, it would confirm what everyone knows, and it's be nice to see that southern sissy accept who he really is.
Brandon Rogers
you should stop typing on a phone and get a laptop. only fags use phones. fags with phones.
phonefags.
Luis Nguyen
I did read your wording, you should have said within. You done goofed Oppy.
> Fucking millenials should have paid attention in grammar class.....
Oliver Anderson
The sentence can be interpreted in two ways and both are valid. "We" as in every individual, or "we" as in humanity. Every individual will die in 30-45 years, or humanity will die in 30-45 years but individuals may die earlier than that.
Luis Bailey
you're wrong dude. >in the next 30 >in the next 45 it's a compound statement, not a delineation. pretty obvious unless you'e this farcical. even if you're unclear, it's a simple matter of asking.
Leo Diaz
this
Brandon Moore
or if it does. or doesn't, nobody cares.
We die in the next thousand years or 20 years, doesn't matter. We're a shit species and we're better off gone.
Colton Russell
>phone It's a tablet. I'm a poor nigger and don't have the internet at home. But you are correct. That is about my love for cock in my ass.
Lucas Kelly
what information do you have to inform that statement? we may be the best species ever by a great margin. no others we know have accomplished as much.
Oliver Long
I can respect that. I for one am a champion assfitter, and can fit nearly 3 metric tons of a 18th century shipwrecks detritus into my ass.
Austin Gonzalez
Really want to know what that have on Lindsey Graham. Im a queer and that's the fucking reason I live open. To not end up like a cuck like him. Remember John Stewart ripping on him years ago and ever since then he's changed his image.
Yeah I'm starting to feel like you user. Saw photos of people protesting in Washington DC the other day. It was some bull shit protest from sometime ago.
Made me think what did they really achieve? It's a truly useless form of political expression.
There is only gonna be one way the workers seize the means of production, and it won't be with votes.
Bentley Brown
that's def the first time those words have been arranged this way. congrats.
Dominic Thomas
Yeah, but the methane trapped in the Siberian tundra's permafrost wasn't being released then. The clathrate gun has gone off.
Bentley Sanders
this guy gets it
Easton Phillips
KeK, was the user he was replying to and felt the same way.
Joshua Butler
>mfw you think climate change is the problem. >mfw climate change is the cure.
I'm all for saving the planet, hence why I drive a land rover, and refuse to cut my emissions. The sooner we're gone, the sooner the planet will be saved from us.
Caleb Kelly
None. SO maybe we survive. Or we don't The recent problems with multiple species over say 100 lbs and their diminishing numbers indicates that we're probably in the same boat as others. but we might not be. or might be. in any case, it doesn't matter because nobody will be alive long enough to measure it or care about it because we have an attention span that can be measured in nanoseconds.
Julian Ross
The humans went extinct thousands of years ago. Our probes encountered their dead world and we've been running simulations based on the information we gathered to figure out what most likely life was like on their world. We're getting close to the end of the simulation now. It has been an interesting learning experience. Most intelligent life out grew their self destructive phase. Humans did not and we want to understand why.
If you were expecting more from a Yea Forums thread, then might i point you to the "men who rape beavers on Mt. Everest" club. It's a gathering of likeminded fellows who have a singular, spectacular goal: Raping beavers on Mt. Everest. It's not the greatest goal, perhaps, and maybe not even the most influential. But it's ours and it means the world to those of us who celebrate our ancient traditions.
John Powell
ahh the simulation hypothesis. I hope it's correct.
Colton Ross
yeah. we like to play pretend.
well, yay if we live in the matrix we get to reset the simulation. because really, if you see the matrix and go "that is the pinnacle of human civilization", i gotta say, we could have done worse.
Asher Myers
lol, this thread went above my expectation, if only slightly. worth exercising my curiosity
Jayden Hill
How can I join?
Samuel Richardson
question 1: do you live near a river or swamp that has a significant population of Beavers?
Matthew Thomas
Question 2: how are you with long treks up Mt. Everest?
James Hall
Question 3: Do you have any moral qualms about telling beavers "Yes means no and no means yes: Do you want me to rape you?"
Asher Clark
>30-45 years >get to live and raise kids and die at the prime of my life >never have to see myself get old and slide into insanity >won't have to endure nursing homes or force kids to pull the plug on me Sounds pretty good desu
yeah but nobody tells you about how the elderly (read: 40 years old) are killed by future generations.
Fun fact: It involes a 50 foot slingshot.
Brody Smith
I'm in terrible health. I'll be dead in less than 20.
Robert Williams
Yes
Meh, was in da military so ok.
So long as no also means anal.
Liam Nelson
>raise kids better make your kids watch Mad Max religiously
Angel White
It's not really like the matrix. None of you are real.
Most intelligent life in the universe eventually evolves beyond biological bodies. The universe is actually quite hostile to biological life and travel between stars even the closest stars is not easy for biological life. The dominant species of the universe live in simulated worlds but we also explore the real universe which is easy for us to do as machines. Most intelligent life for hundreds of thousands of years now have never had a biological body. We reproduce through simulation. We simulate different worlds and different eras and look for the extraordinary individuals in those simulations. People who are brilliant thinkers, artists and creators. When their simulations end, when they die in that simulated world then we bring them into our reality and introduce them to the universe as it really is. They continue to live and grow here. Less extraordinary people are simply deleted when their simulation is terminated as they lack the scope of thought necessary to live and grow as an immortal. It would be cruel for us to impose immortality on a person with a limited mind.
Your species will live again with us as we do as we have been saving the minds of the best your species has to offer. So despite the fact your biological forms went extinct long ago human minds will still exist.
So no. You're not a body in a tube living in a simulated world.
Chase Mitchell
yes, this is the logical conclusion. isaac arthur, did you come to /b?
