The next years are going to be fun… The world is burning while the fossil fuel industry is chugging along like everything is great as long as you buy enough co2 credits.

I’m scared in what kind of world my children will have to live in…

    A better way to phrase this, is that you believe humans deserve to live because of your own ego about your worth compared to the entire planet. Carry on.

      That’s maybe what you read, but not what I said. Putting words in mouths is a dishonest approach to conversation. Can we do better, please?

      The idea was based on the assumption that one does not want humans to suffer.

      Now when people talk about some ‘vital signs’ of a system in which humans live, be it economy, space ship or planet, it is usually meant and understood that they care about the wellbeing of the inhabitants, not about the state of the soulless system, even if that’s what they literally say. It’s a metaphor.
