So maybe there is no meaning to it. No 'God', 'Gods', or other metaphysical phenomena. Everything then coming down to you, and the way you chose to behave. Life as an empty bag that you need to fill with something.


So what do you fill it with?

We're as far from any consensus that we can be those days. And our idiots are driving us to war. At the same time as global warming is accelerating. I talk about synergies, but not in a good way. You are free to call them whatever you like.

Unknown unknowns, unforeseen effects, it doesn't matter. They will still be what matters. Just as your own local weather and environment will have constantly growing impacts on our chances globally. It's not only about global averages.

all of it, and more, becoming a synergy interacting, making sure of an extinction event.

All because of a game, somewhere around 11 000 years old. Our farming game with everything it brought with it, culminating in a few privileged believing that they alone 'own' this earth. In much the same manner that your politicians thinks that they 'represent' you.

They don't

But you my friend think that they do, and that is what makes this game self propagating, generation after generation.

Let's take this one first

"Scientists long ago envisioned the end of climate cooperation"

No, they didn't. I think I did, but I I didn't see them on the bulwarks. Not saying that you didn't have 'scientific voices' warning, but officially it was all about 'fighting' the good fight, adapting and mitigating, eating insects, becoming vegetarian, etc etc.

Nothing like the way I presents it
