the thing #doomers obsess about with entropy is about how non-fossil fuel energy is A LOT less energy (or power) dense than sunlight, which basically fuel renewables. very complex life, like humanity, can only feed on sources of sufficiently high energy density, so long story short, transitioning to renewable energy goes against the rules of life, if you will.

the thing is, whether or not i, or anyone agrees - doesn't really matter, right. point is STILL: we have to use less.

#1

#2 the source of the anger is not that #climatechange is happening, but, first, that "nothing has been done to prevent it", and then there is this pure, helpless rage at the fact that we do not even seem to understand the actual reasons why we are not acting...

it is the #complexity, humans struggle so much with it.

Continued thread

these #doomers, not all of them, but for sure some, will get increasingly more desperate and aggressive, and in a way it is justified. and when ever humans come to that state there will be some of them who will be looking for someone to blame.

there'll be some who don't go: "yeah the human species is a natural system & behaves as such" but: "who can we dogpile for this.".

Continued thread

no one of these people predicted that in years time humans will basically all lose their minds and put a demented donald effing trump and a strange car salesmen from the future in charge of the world because they read on the internet that the flouride in the water turns the freaking frogs gay or whatever?

they predicted "a reduction in #complexity", but be fucking honest, guys

you didn't predict shit.

Continued thread

you know the problem is with her & all the #doomers, but especially her, she is an insurance mathematician & being a doomer is basically her job description, but: they look at the data & energy flows & if things progress like this & that - this might happen. that's all nice & all, if the world was an effing SD model that excludes human nature & human's nursery-level temper tantrums.

this is not happening bc energy was tight. this is bc humans are idiots & voted for an idiot.

the tollarating of the pro-#russia advocates & #antivaxxers in the movement, the #doomers demoralizing everyone, demobilizing the #democrat voters. the free-speech shitlibs who think we need to hear every possible troll out. the never-ending and exhausting, under-complex "#doomer" vs "#hopium additct" infights. the privilege-blindness of all of this. white males who want be right on the internet & their fanboys who just want a guru.

#Doomers are just entitled cowards. Stop giving them so much oxygen. We're not going to solve anything by letting them recruit more people into apathy, so I hope y'all choke on that black pill so at least you're quiet while the rest of us are actually trying something.

@dhayannada

For some time now I have considered that #Climate and #Environment #Doomerism is, actually, the only realistic approach. Pretending that we are not thoroughly f*cked on multiple levels actively prevents:

1) Challenging the widespread delusion that we are doing anything near what actually needs to be done

2) Preparing for the impending societal #Collapse that will affect everyone in ways that they simply don't understand, and don't want to understand.
