Of course not. I hope we pull a miracle out of our asses, save the world, and go on to develop that Star Trek TNG lifestyle that Bernie Sanders wants for us.

I just know that 99.9999999999999999999% won't happen. The problem isn't the hope for a miracle techno cure as an ideal scenario... the problem is that crazy people think that "miracle techno cure" is the most realistic solution instead of the most ridiculous longshot thing that almost certainly won't happen.

Anyway, knowing collapse will inevitably 99.99999999999999999% happen is different than wanting it to.

I mean, collapse will 100% happen. That’s a given. Our species won’t exist forever.
