  • we are not going to make it past the Great Filter

    Yeah. Most likely not. We’ve only had the ability to actually extinct ourselves for a very short period of time and we’ve already used nuclear weapons on civilian populations and threatened to use them repeatedly ever since. It’s only a matter of time.

    When one flies, they all start flying. And if we don’t do it that way, we’ll simply burn up all the resources this planet provides and pollute the fuck out of our ecosystem.

    I’ll hold out a glimmer of hope, just cuz everyone likes rooting for the underdog, but realistically, the human species is probably just a temporary thing in the big picture.


  • Nuclear proliferation is just incredibly risky

    You could argue, convincingly, that it’s incredibly risky not to.

    Ukraine.

    They made a deal with Russia to give up their nukes in exchange for Russia never invading them. Fast forward a handful of years and Russia invades them and they have no nukes as deterrent.

    We’re moving into a future where everyone is going to need nukes as a deterrent from being invaded.

    Sucks, but humans are stupid, violent animals.
