I don’t think it’s so much that people have gotten dumber, there’s always been dumb folk, but the age of social media has made them less fearful of looking stupid.
It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.
There’s also the compounding effect of being able to hear more voices from around the world thanks to the internet.
Every village has an idiot. These days you don’t need to visit the village to run into their idiot.
And now that it’s easy to do so, they’re banding together to form entire metropoli of only idiots.
No, the earth will not be ok of we do the bare minimum
Oh the earth will absolutly be ok. It’s we that won’t be.
Humans : challenge accepted.
Or in the worst case, all life on Earth won’t be ok.
No, life in general would be fine. It will be (already is) a mass extinction but earth had a couple of those and life will bounce back.
The worst case scenario is turning Earth into a planet with a climate like Venus’s.
A planet that proves the existence of runaway greenhouse effects btw.
It is theoretically possible that life exists there, but multicellular life is considered unlikely, and we’ll probably never get to take surface samples, given it’s been measured at 464 Celsius.
We probably can’t fuck up the planet that badly, but toss in a nuclear exchange to greenhouse effects and an unfortunate volcanic eruption or two?
We aren’t doing the bare minimum. We’re doing less than the bare minimum. That’s the problem.
of course the moon exists, but it is hollow. it is a reptilian space ship and arrived 12.8k years ago
The Earth is not flat, it’s a hypersphere. It literally explains everything, and yet no one will engage me on that fact
