Was up all night last night cuz i watched a video on youtube where the MIT-trained neurosurgeon who quit his job due to moral, personal, and existential quandaries and now makes vlogs from the wilderness of the PNW talked about a study released by the university of exeter in 2025 that said if the world average global temperature increases by 3 degrees celsius as is predicted within the century (2050 to 2100) then half of the world's population will die from environmental causes, starvation, or subsequent international war and governmental collapse. And then I watched project hail mary (which actually was as good as people were saying, imo a better movie than book) where half the world's population was also potentially going to die from environmental causes, starvation, or subsequent international war and governmental collapse. So basically, yeah. I don't know how we're supposed to live with the knowledge that this is probably going to happen. Do you guys ever think about it? Sometimes when I post or write in my journal I feel like i'm writing to future generations of human beings, survivors of the apocalypse we know is coming and are struggling to stop (many aren't trying or can't even try), and I'm trying to tell them who we are. And maybe in 1000 years they will use my blog and/or journals as a historical record to explain their past. This is why we couldn't save ourselves, guys. It was just too much
