Climate advocates in general try to avoid implying that we've already crossed a threshold, as that breeds hopelessness.

They want decisive and ambitious action, you can't get that if we all turn to doomerism.

Yeah, but also if you took all humanity and compressed it into a "meat sphere", it would only be 1km wide [1].

I prefer not to click anymore and instead ask AI to summarize a URL for me. The Brave Browser Leo AI is great for this.

this sounds great as long as law and federal enforcement agencies can also access that password manager app as-needed.

"The great supercomputer Deep Thought is the most powerful computer ever built, with one exception. It was designed by hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, who wanted to know the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Its creation annoyed a fair few philosophers, who felt that it was taking over their turf.

After seven and a half million years of serious cogitation, Deep Thought spoke the answer. However, it was so inexplicable that Deep Thought then had to go on and design the most powerful computer ever built (with no exceptions) to work out what the question was."

If orca associate humans with taking their food, killing whales (eg: Faroe Islands), and polluting their habitat it's not surprising for them to instinctively react against this threat.

Monkeys groom one another to remove lice.

Humans are the lice.
