    If we’re all f***** anyway, I think that justifies a lot of bad behavior. Why don’t people burn his house and company to the ground tomorrow? After all, law and order won’t matter when the environment goes to hell.

    The actual quote is kess stupid, but still stupid.

    Clearly sets up “AI” versus “climate” dynamic. Also calls “AI” an “alien intelligence”.

    Had a planet full of resources, and thousands of years of rich and interesting cultural development.

    Decided to spend all the resources grinding all that culture into a bland paste.

    “We should all max out and default on 1 billion credit cards because we’ll never pay out all debts”. Maybe if we frame it that way the religious capitalists will get it.

    There’s a danger when you advocate abandoning all hope of survival and you haven’t yet figured out immortality for yourself.
