of course we should be using all renewables now (as well as nuclear), but the world will only need more and more energy in the future. Sustainables are a bridge and a supplement, but for long term security, fusion is the answer. fusion empowers us to do whatever humanity is capable of.
i see a lot of naysaying in the comments and a lot of superstition.
the one thing you all got right is that it will never work in the hands of capitalists. however, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work in the hands of academia.
another thing that i think somebody in this comment section got right is the acceleration of fusion power. it’s obvious that fusion power works. we just can’t work out the details to make it net positive and scalable. i think those things are possible, and that we need all the help we can get to develop it.
something i don’t see people mentioning is how an AI properly trained on human behavior could lead us down a path of sustainability without making us feel like we were forced to. with the right carrots and sticks, you can lead humanity to water and make it drink.
but none of this is possible without abandoning capitalism and unifying the world. we have to move away from nation states and fiat currency. and guess who are the people that stubbornly cling on to these concepts across cultures? conservatives and the religious - these are the two most cancerous concepts in the human species. roughly half of the human population across all cultures are backwards minded people clinging on to outdated concepts and unwilling to let go of the idea.
if you can figure out how to eliminate conservatism and religion, utopia is within reach.
Alrght. I’m leaving a comment here as a reminder to come back to this thread and tell my creepy pasta story.
EDIT: i read the lamp story. it was ok i guess. mine is similar.
what are you even talking about?
libertarians, rich nerds and crypto bros
like i said, the right.
ok man. i’ll be over here having a good time.
boomers figured out the other mediums.
hey! you leave beer and cigs out of this!
i think the right needs to be intimidated in general.

flying squid just likes to drive engagement because they’re a lemmy addict. arguing with them is about as useless as arguing with a conservative.
ignore these people and focus on garnering support for final solutions. the people are getting close to being as fed up as they can be. all we need is a populace that’s ready to act on a push notification.
we all get it. the next step is DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
pointing out hypocrisy is so pointless. does anyone on the left not realize that they’re all hypocrites? please raise your hand if you need that explained.
ok. next issue on the docket: what are we going to do about it?
who needs an apology? just make them go away.
and there’s only one way to get rid of them
obviously, any real revolutionary should be obsessed with concealing their identity at this point if they want to be an effective combatant.
i see a giant target whenever i see one of those things.
like, if bad things started happening to cyber truck owners (who are obviously cowards like most big truck people - obsessed with their own safety), people would shun those things like the plague and musk would get his come uppance.
right now, it’s become the new culture war motif - another stupid thing for stupid people to defend.
then we should ‘deal’ with them
adults today will never understand either, apparently.
