Yeah, I don't know about that.
Yeah, he's completely fucking wrong.
The beginning is decades ago.
We're so close to the end it's not a catastrophic enough a description to be close to real.
He's also wrong about survival instinct. There is stupidity which will go insane soon but anyone who fucking gets it knows there is nothing but a true end to all life on this planet. I call 2030. Not that you'll be here to say otherwise. If you are you won't because we'll be that gorramn close and you'll be stupid and go insane or just enjoy your last few minutes because you won't get much more of those.
If it ain't the baked planet, it'll be a virus bio-/tech- whatever but they won't make it past the shortly thereafter former, or closed source AI $ add repeat of the last, or....well...yeah..theres a dozen others bidding on annihilation and no one to counter a thing. They'll all suck the dollar worship and go to work in a guzzling baker machine (automobile in case you're stupid and don't just get it).
Off topic but
Found the browncoat
Gorram right. Got all the comics, books (bar the most recent which I intend to acquire soon), and board/card games bar i think one of the dice but not Shiny Dice, I got that too.
Catastrophizing doesn't mean the same thing as acknowledging the severity of a problem.
