Tired Climate Alarmist Malthusian dog shit. Global Societal collapse? Sure. Due to the warming of Terra Firma? Fuck completely off. The steps being taken and policies implemented to accelerate and ensure our demise are intentional. Aided in no small part by the Browning of all that was once good and the subsequent rise of the Double Digit IQ Tribe, to be sure, but that's just an ancillary and situationally exploitable resource, not the cause. And to cite Jared Diamond chapter and verse to bolster the argument? Good Lord, Hedges.
Agreed. I am reading Collapse by Jared Diamond right now.
The climate stuff is bullshit. It boils down to stupid people, wealth in the hands of a few, corrupt leadership, overuse of resources to the point there is nothing left for survival, and over-warring armies who kill each other off.
Diamond's assertion in GG&S that cultural differences can be chalked up to continental X vs Y oriented axes is embarrassing in its simplistic dipshitedness. Not once in that anthropology-for-the-masses tome does he address racial morphological and intellectual differences (lookin' at you, Frontal Lobes & G). But then again, his whole schtick of based on the increasingly debunkable Out Of Africa con, so, ya know...
I haven’t finished the book. It’s funny, I don’t know why I assumed he’d point to frontal lobe stuff.
