Nooo! But I used to be so popular on Lemmy!

:'-(

It’s a good point. But I also think I can’t stop environmental catastrophe from occurring because religious people don’t believe in science and most people are religious.

I am all in favor of banning gas cars, building better public infrastructure, and extremely harsh draconian environmental standards to try to stop the extinction event unfolding before us, but over time I concluded I can’t stop it: people are too religious and stupid.

I can’t deprogram the entire world. I may as well have a nicer life until everything dies by using AI. I can’t run for world dictator, as a gay person, and enact the necessary standards because so many religious idiots would never vote for me because I’m gay. At best, I can protest, which does nothing in the grand scheme of things.

People have protested, scientists have lit themselves on fire trying to warn people; no one cares. I don’t think that being a part of the extinction even is immoral when it will happen no matter what I do. And honestly, people are so stupid and evil that maybe the earth is better off getting rid of us, like a human gets a fever to try to destroy an infection. Humans no longer know how to live in balance with nature and belief in religion is the primary driver of that. Should I suffer until the end (with no AI) so I can say “I told you so” in 130 F heat when the world becomes uninhabitable? I like AI. I would rather not format all my documents or write all my documents. I like the help. Yes, it’s environmentally destructive, but it’s sort of like lecturing the captain when the Titanic has already started sinking. We know what’s going to happen, there’s no turning back, at best some humans will escape to a slightly colonized Mars until everyone dies and perhaps the earth will go back to homeostasis thousands or millions of years later and Martians can recolonize earth. I can’t stop these things.
