Fantastic Author too.
Another quote:
“Capitalism’s grow-or-die imperative stands radically at odds with ecology’s imperative of interdependence and limit. The two imperatives can no longer coexist with each other; nor can any society founded on the myth that they can be reconciled hope to survive. Either we will establish an ecological society or society will go under for everyone, irrespective of his or her status.” – Ursula K. Le Guin
Looks like it will be going under for everyone.

That it does. I’ve got more hope about extraterrestrials showing up to fix it for us than I do about us fixing it ourselves at this point.
The solution is absolute destruction and the end of human life! It’s just unfortunate we will not be here to watch the world become better without any of these useless pieces of meat around.

Getting into space properly would give us at least a lot of breathing room on that whole ‘infinite growth’ paradigm.
Humanity is definitely fucking up with our starter resources and early base building strategy.
We have more than enough space and resources to grow for a long time. The majority of the limits we are stressing are inventions by the haves to keep the have-nots in check.
Until they modify the brain and we both become different things 🥲

I don’t get it.
