I’m debating with my friend how we all are gonna die. She says it’ll be when the sun becomes a supernova and gravity will kill us all. I think global warming might kill us all before that due to sea level rise and the ice caps melting. It’s also possible that dinosaurs might be resurrected and they could eat us all. How do you all think the world is gonna and end? Do you think mankind would perish before the end of the world? How do you think it’s gonna happen?

This reminds me of my journey through the Unabomber’s literary corpus. I started with Industrial Society and its Future, of course, and he makes it seem like the future is going to be this horrible dystopia where we’re all medicated beyond hope of rebellion and we’re reduced to cogs in this awful universal machine. This sounded pretty cool so I read his more recent Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How. In this book he just opines that we’re all going to die from global warming or something and seems not to believe we’ll evolve into some cool cyberpunk hellscape. Kinda lame tbh. For this reason I do not recommend this book.

AP1 your comment is certified Based and Tedpilled™

Counsel 2 that is because (unlike everything else in this bowl) it is a true story

Mass population die-offs due to weather volatility (hurricanes, heatwaves, etc), resource shortages (drinking water), and viral pandemics.

There’ll be stragglers that will endure into the long-tail of the end of humanity, we’ve always been a persistent species. But yeah, surface conditions are in all likelihood getting too inhospitable for us before anything like the death of the sun happens.

How are there like a hundred comments on here and no one has said aliens yet? Have we learned nothing from the repeating natural loops of cowboys and Indians throughout history? Roman Empire, crusades, American colonization, westward expansion… this pattern exists in nature as well, over and over again. History is told by the lions not the lambs, which narrows our perspective. Make no mistake, Homo sapiens will become a subjugated race when they arrive. We will be de facto eliminated “shortly” thereafter.

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
