    I don’t think climate change is the primary driver, since they won’t even be alive to see the worst affects of it. Don’t get me wrong it’s going to make everything worse even within 10 years, but it’s not turning Greenland into some habitable, farmable landmass in the span of these technofascists’ lifetimes. God I hate this.

    People should read The Ministry for the Future to learn how they dealt with climate criminals as more and more people suffered and died due to climate change in the mid-future.

      These people believe that they will actually defeat death itself with technology. It is part of their ideology. Look into transhumanism and how the tech bros heavily buy into the idea that they will outlive us all because they assume themselves to be superior. Thiel openly says so in that Antichrist NYT interview.

      Survival of the richest by Douglas Rushkoff (professor of media theory and the guy who coined terms like ‘viral media’ and ‘digital native’) is a very interesting read on that.

        That’s not bad though (having a go at death itself, we’re mere machines so why not), we have alleviated suffering and early death with medicine for centuries. They? They are illiterate morons when it comes to biology and will believe anything grifters will sell them, like cold treatments, injecting stem cells and whatever other “silver bullet” treatment. Almost funny how they are getting fooled if it wasn’t diverting so much effort away from real progress.
