Hmmm, well that can only go really bad or really good for investors, I would think. No middle ground here. It just depends on what the mob does.

You know, I can actually see stubborn people clinging on to climate change denial. The rise in average temperature is very small and you can’t really feel it, and it still fluctuates between hot and cold. Flat Earth, on the other hand, is an absurd belief. There is so much evidence against it. One of the guys I overheard said he knew an airline pilot who “knew” the Earth was flat. That HAD to be bullshit. I figure, even if said pilot didn’t personally fly the routes, he would know you fly West from the US to go to Australia. You fly West to go from Australia to Europe. You fly West to go from Europe to the US… Hmmmm…

I was out having coffee yesterday and overheard two actual people agreeing that the Earth is flat. I thought that was all bullshit! Flat Earthers? No fucking way is anybody that dumb, thought I… I stand corrected, I guess.

Organizing like that is a good idea for sure, but it will come down to revolution (probably violent) to eradicate the problem. Humans are just animals though, and whatever we build to replace what we destroy may likely be just as bad.

That’s just surviving. OP asked how do you stop the oppression. That could be done over time via the electoral process if it was left intact, but it has been damaged already and very likely will be ignored if and when it goes against the will of the oppressors. Then what?

That is totally dependent on if they rig the upcoming midterms or not. If there is a legitimate election and the Republicans indeed loose big, then a long process of rebuilding can begin. They will have to immediately remove Trump from office IMO. …Having said that, there is no way that these fascist swine are going down that easy. They will either fix the elections, cancel them, or claim fraud and execute a total coup. This time, they will use the military.

So… like a very slow missile then?

They do? What do you mean?

They forgot Poit, Wango and Fwee Bee Dee Bee Dap.

Humanity will not survive. Intelligence is a pathogen. Given every point you made, even if we survive the worst wars we can imagine, it would only start over again. NOBODY makes it through the great filter. Hopefully the planet will still be habitable after we are gone.

Intelligence is a pathogen. Wherever it develops in the universe, it rapidly spreads and consumes everything, wiping out most other life forms and eventually itself. It has probably developed over and over again over time all over the universe including our own galaxy. It may be relatively rare, but there would still be millions of instances. The fact that we have found no evidence of intelligent life elsewhere is not because it doesn’t exist or is too far away, but because we have missed the band of detectable transmissions from these societies that existed closer to us. There will be others, but we may be gone by then. We should definitely not be working to spread to other worlds. We should perish here from our own behaviors as we are meant to.

I’ll wait. The phone screen is too fucking small and the sound is a joke. Phones are for memes and shit. I bought that fucking 4K TV for movies. I hardly use it, but that’s what it’s for.

That couch is TITS! I want it!
