Advocates warn that Utah's massive new homeless facility, which it's building to comply with Trump's executive order on homelessness, will be an "internment camp" that subjects those detained to forced labor.
Then human extinction, because the only people who understood complex systems died of formerly preventable diseases, resource scarcity and state violence.
Full extinction is unlikely. After all, we survived without understanding complex systems for hundreds of thousands of years. Every part of the planet would have to be completely inhospitable to human life for us to go extinct.
We spent hundreds of thousands of years living and adapting slowly to everthing else in the ecosystem. As an analogy, setting up a game of Jenga, building the tower.
We spent 10,000 years (agriculture) learning how to play jenga, slowly plucking a block or two.
We spent 250 years industrializing learning how fast and efficiently we can take out bricks.
We spent the last 30 years learning how to automate it.
Most of earth’s animal biomass is humans, human’s food or our food’s food. There is very little nature left and what’s left is in the middle of the 6th great extinction..
Now the world is on a massive militarization campaign in preparation for the inevitable conflict climate change brings at the peak of our population.
How many more jenga bricks you think we can pull out before this tower falls?
Every part of the planet would have to be completely inhospitable to human life for us to go extinct.
No. We just need sufficient areas to become temporarily inhospitable. You can survive for a while in a heat wave inside your air conditioned house. Can your crops? Can pollinators? Can what little wildlife we have left? Can your AC repair man? More jenga blocks knocked out.
Conflict over what’s left can do the rest. Remember we’re automating our destruction. What started in Ukraine with drones ends with weaponized AI.
You ever wonder why the galaxy seems void of life? I think I know why.
