Utopia? Flying jetson cars? Mole people living underground? Everything’s on fire and humanity ends? I’m just curious about anyone’s thoughts in general 😀

I think we'll have way less people after we drive ourselves into ground with our bad, greedy, I me mine nature.

Think a population akin to north America, pre discovery.(proportionately)

Tbh, they had it pretty well spot on and it got fucked up.

They fought wars etc, but the technology was limited. Their connection to the earth was just that, connected. No middle man. It's the way. And we are going back, slowly but surely. All things settle.

I think the very nature of our minds complicates our own existence. The less we have the better. We are animals. We're smart, but not that smart. We're actually kind of fkn horrible dumb incompetent creatures lol.

Too smart for our own good is an apt phrase.
