Why do you think the society is collapsing? Because of liars or because of those who reject lies?

It might get a few degrees warmer, but that will only make winter less cold. We are at the end of an ice age, so Earth warming up isn't strange.

Reply to Attractive female students no longer earned higher grades when classes moved online during COVID-19 by smallpond
Classes where the teacher can give grades based on what he feels like are pointless anyway.
But for male students, who continued to see higher grades with attractiveness even when student-teacher interaction was low, beauty seems to be a productivity-enhancing attribute.
Or maybe women were the only one enjoying an eye-candy premium in the first place? Could also be that there is no such premium and women simply stop trying as hard with no in-person attention received anymore.

What are you even smoking? The heat death of the universe is inevitable. It's not just Earth. It's the entire universe. Won't happen during my lifetime, but just the travel time (let's just pretend space travel was real) would take thousands of years.
We have to start somewhere, though.
The Earth is generally fine. It might get a few degrees warmer, but that will only make winter less cold. We are at the end of an ice age, so Earth warming up isn't strange. Micro plastic pollution is of much greater concern than climate change.
Maybe Earth will even warm up enough to make Antarctica a place people would want to live.

Good point & totally agree !

It was caused by farmers using unnatural and extractive resource management. Not saying this is the same deal, just considering that we don't know how ~lasers~ might affect the soil & ecosystems. Hopefully it doesn't and we learned from our past!

Please don't conflate the ways that climate change is coerced into a political platform with the actuality of climate change itself - they're different beasts and the reason why people's needs aren't satisfied is because the extractive resource practices that our society rely on need people with unmet needs (largely social needs) to function. What do you need?

this is "the end is near" rapture ideology in peak form. I'm sorry that the sense of impending change is getting to you, but even if we do build a space ark to colonize other planets - you're not getting a golden ticket.
Don't give into apathy, it's never too late.

It's amazing that there are still flat earthers and climate 'skeptics' out there. Most are just old and have decided to double-down until they die rather than admit their stupidity, but I suppose a collapsing society involves all manner of delusions.

A species stupid enough to consciously ruin the environment we evolved into won't survive in space, but I guess this is some sort of religious belief for you.

Dust bowl was caused by severe over farming not from killing weeds!

I do not acknowledge "climate crisis". In fact, I believe climate politics is scarcity politics. There is less and less limit on means of production, so why all people's needs have not been satisfied yet? Wealth hoarders produce many justifications and climategate is one of them. A lot has been invested into it, and they have hard time dropping it even after many decent scientists spoke against the lie.

Oh, it's just another climate bullshit article. Haven't seen one of those before. Instead of trying to prevent what is according to them unpreventable anyway, why not focus instead on how to adapt to the predicted changes?
Gimping our own economy is totally retarded. The heat death of the universe will get this planet anyway. We should invest all our resources into leaving this planet and leaving this very universe, since it is doomed. And for that we need an economy that isn't gimped.
We need to concentrate more wealth in fewer capable hands working towards space exploration and leaving behind this death sentence planet.

Right, if only people had a clear idea of what good and evil are. It's not so clear.

It's both useful and manipulative. Academic rigor and critical thinking don't just spring from facebook, they need to be learnt slowly and carefully.

Pigs curate all the exit nodes themselves, but sometimes not thoroughly enough. Yes, it is intimidation action, but targeted on their pets first, rather than at general public.

Trying so hard to be good? How about don't be evil. That would be a good start for pretty much everyone.

Prices are abstract, virtual. Prices have no intention, agency or will. Prices can't be real source, cause of event that threatens lives of many real people. It is real people who threaten other real people, virtual tools serving as medium of their actions. Claiming 'it was all prices' is attempt to avoid responsibility, retaliation from people who suffered against active manipulators: bankers, politicians, and their servants.

Mass education is not help, it's a brainwashing tool, it's purpose is to violate, rape young minds and bodies into conformity. Healthy men don't like being raped. Women do, because enjoying or at least tolerating rape had evolutionary benefit for their ancestors.

Because we are overpopulated, addicted to high-energy resources that are running out, and simultaneously destroying the natural systems that sustain us.
You strike me as someone utterly incapable of discerning lies from truth - I pity you.
