    Ah yes the “skip the realities of building orbital megastructures” phase of capitalism.

    Can we get like, uh, a space elevator first?

    They’ll kill everything rather than just consume less. We should round them up. Place them in a deep holding cell in a pit. We can call it Sheol, and the person who feeds and waters them daily can be granted the title of Charon.

    We’ll disperse into decentralized communities hardly bigger than villages. Then, maybe, before we try this whole industrial thing again, we can learn to respect and revere the world and the life around us.

    Not saying this will work but its better than blocking out the fucking sun, our main source of energy.

      They = 95% of the population in developed & developing countries. No one wants to be affected by actually useful climate policies, no company, no politician, no voter. Those who actually do are a minuscule minority. Otherwise we’d see vastly different parties and votes. So if we’re real for a second, drastic dumb shit like this is likely the only thing that can still save us.

        It sucks we’re in the minority then. I’d be ecstatic to change this entire society up.
