You think computers will still work after the collapse of modern society? Unless we keep building giant machines run on fossil fuels we are completely unable to produce computer parts, how the fuck would these processes survive something as devastating to people as a damn near Extinction level event. I doubt people would have much thoughts other than “Where food?” after we are basically wiped off earth
After the collapse of modern society happens on a global scale, I will apologize to you in person. Otherwise, we can presume I am right and humans are going to go on forever. It’s not going to be a comfortable ride for most, but our species is going to reach the point where the ones standing in the way of progress are no longer wielding the most power. At least long enough to get the worst threats handled.
You assume society will never go downhill until proven otherwise? Nothing lasts forever and we think we are invincible. We have built a house of cards, delicately held up by fossil fuels that are also going to be our downfall. Renewable energy/electric cars are a PR stunt to increase the demand of energy while making very few changes. We are fucked in like 30 years or less lol if you can’t picture a world without our society you must not have given it much thought :)
Quite the opposite. Society has been moving up hill this whole time, with downhill slides now and then. Climate change is possibly the worst slide, but the ones who make it the worst are dying off as their generation hits the end of their life expectancy. Gen Z and younger have very different priorities from the older generations. Millennials lean similarly, are building political power and hopefully fast enough to prevent the worst of Gen X from following in their predecessors’ footsteps. Society isn’t going to vanish just because sea levels rise. Society is near-global now, something that has never happened before; it is not comparable to some hunter-gatherer band that over-hunted their food supply.
