Ok..so where was I?
(you were soft-pitching the mass-extinction of mankind as a positive🤣)
Ah yes, that old chestnut.
So …we’ve established the idea that 10 million humans would remain,.
AI chooses who is worthy to breed and the next generation builds paradise in a centralized location…Fuck it, let’s up that number to 100 million.
And 2 central locations, each on opposite sides of the planet. ( because of asteroids)
What then?
Well,,,,let’s start with the dead ☠️☠️☠️. 7.9 billion dead bodies, all dying within roughly 20 years of each other. What purpose could these carcasses serve?
We place them in one single region…without coffins,without clothes…piles and piles of the dead, miles and miles of the dead…the stench would be unbearable. We give ourselves back to the worms, we accept the fact that we’re merely carrion.
Think of what would grow.🌴🍀☘️🌳🌲🌲
Think of how thick a forest 7.9 billion dead bodies would fertilize.
After 2 generations, it would become the forest of “us”. The most lush piece of land on the Earth,the most beautiful natural landscape.
The surviving few could visit us there, they could place their hands against the trees and know what happened to their ancestors… Our sacrifice would be visible from space. The greenest green.
You can daydream better scenarios….
Or you can be a real asshole, you can look around and assume that most of us had no business being here in the first place. “life is a gift”….every..single….time.
I see a dumpy family of 4, spilling out of an Olive Garden. Slack jawed, morbidly obese, tshirts riding up over fat-rolls, perplexed looks on their oversized faces, Staring down at phones…Yeah, we’re all created equal. Genetics don’t mean anything,right?? one of these fat fucking kids might cure cancer.Right?
Where’s the line eh?
At what point are you the asshole?
Bitching doesn’t help, of course we are easy to herd, of course we’re easy to distract, of course we’d rather fight about bullshit, of course there is no solution.
If someone claims to have an answer, they’re probably trying to sell you something.
“individual responsibility?”
I’d believe in the individual if I hadn’t seen the group. One on one, people are probably ok…
Zooming out on people can be scary. Each is so complicated, the crowd becomes mathematically overwhelming.Too many variables.
Fear based, it’s possible that I’m having a fear based reaction to our increasingly smaller world.
