    The time to find this equilibrium has passed. I’m already depressed and nihilistic

      I get the anxiety of global warming and global capitalism being the end of the world, but we we will fix it!

      You see, as the globe heats up and crops die, countries will begin fighting for resources . There will be larger and larger migrations of people from the unhabitable places and warzones to more developed countries, which we have already been seeing. This has already triggered a push of nationalism and authoritarianism, and it will get much worse. As democracies fall to dictatorships, global peace will fall apart as despots wage war with each other. At this point it’s just a matter of time before all the nukes are launched.

      And then it’s nuclear winter!

      It will last only a decade, but with 93% of the population dying, we will see a large reduction of carbon emissions as humanity is sent back to the year 1300. Those billionaires who could afford their bunkers and have the political skill to maintain their power will emerge as competing warlords that will plunge humanity further into chaos to an age of violence, instability, and oppression. Then it’s just 700~ 1000 years to reach the technological and population levels of today!

      I am an optimist.
