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 roughly half of the human population across all cultures are backwards minded people clinging on to outdated concepts and unwilling to let go of the idea.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.
what are you even talking about?
ok man. i’ll be over here having a good time.
hey! you leave beer and cigs out of this!
ok. keep donating then. get back to me in 10 years.
they should try, but those orgs are not trying. those orgs are pacifying.
that seems about as useless as bitching online about it.
the system grinds down opposition. change from within is near impossible.
at the end of the day, it’s all complaining and no action. i get so tired of hearing children whine and doing nothing about anything.
then we should ‘deal’ with them
Right-wing instances were defederated after they wouldn’t moderate their users posting CSAM, gore, and nazi shit.
seems like it would have been more productive to infiltrate and doxx than just to look away.

there aren’t always non-violent solutions. i accept that reality. it’s nothing to be proud of, but i would be ashamed if i couldn’t deal with that truth.

we need more men willing to stand up for women.
lemmy is full of sissy pacifists but i upvoted you.
it’s long past time we took businessman out of control and replaced them with scientists.
that’s not a technical problem. that’s a weakness of the people’s resolve problem. we can, at any time, force them to do the right thing.
you know we could just put our collective foot down and take the power away from them.
adults today will never understand either, apparently.
