@gwagner Hi friend, please let me know if there are any discussions planned for surviving "black swan" type of climate events, like total collapse triggered by cascading tipping points.

@thek3nger I have completed short stories that I can never publish, because doing so would be discourteous to people's souls. Just because you can write something, doesn't mean you should.

@ScienceCommunicator When we are young there is a lot of pressure to conform socially. This conformance is different for the genders; the driving force is mostly mating, and neither gender is pressured toward science or environmentalism. It's about getting ahead to find the best partner.

Raising a family slightly changes the equation, but social pressures to "keep up with the Joneses" and advance your kids' immediate prospects doesn't help the environment either.

@ScienceCommunicator I had a good basic concept, but poor choice of adjectives. But that's why we think and edit together. Try this 2x2: rows are Studious and Ignorant, columns are Helpful and Selfish. This gives a better feel of what I am thinking, and avoids the conflict between being learnt but still not helping the situation. How's that look?

I might add this isn't static for any person. When younger I was Ignorant and Selfish, busy raising a family and "learning" only by the mass media.

@ScienceCommunicator Okaaaay I thought it over. View it as a 2-by-2 chart: the rows are Wise and Ignorant, the columns are Helpful and Nefarious. So 4 categories. The wise and helpful is my group. The wise and nefarious are building climate shelters in New Zealand. The ignorant and helpful are a lot of people on Mastodon who say Just drive less and eat less meat. The ignorant and nefarious are fighting wars, driving SUVs, and barbecue every summer weekend.

"Not many markets go from being worth pretty much zero to more than $370 billion in the space of just 10 years. However, that’s the growth predicted for the cultured meat industry – prompting huge interest from global food companies."

@ScienceCommunicator I'm a fourth type. It's too late, but we owe survivors better instructions. So humanity doesn't go extinct we need:
1. Replace GDP with better metric.
2. Less fragile technology.
3. Scenario planning on how population drops to a sustainable level.
4. Better strategic spatial planning to live in concordance with ecoregions.
5. More sustainable agriculture.
6. Attitudes and ongoing education that incorporate natural custodianship.
7. More green grassroots organizing.

@Dragofix Eh, probably not for long. Please read:
A Planet of 3 Billion, by Christopher Tucker
Indeed, historical deforestation, industrialization, and infrastructure buildout have ruined the environment. Then the question becomes one of lifestyle versus overall population. What is a fitting target: 3 billion people who live "Swiss" (Chris Tucker's scenario, the Swiss create about 1/3 the pollution of U.S. folks) or 9 billion people at the level of India?

@Dragofix we do need to keep the average temperature reasonable, but there is so much more to do as well. There is quite a bit more pollution than just GHGs, and estimates place the long-term sustainable human population at only 3 billion.
