    The world is only doomed if you’re poor.

    If you have a few million in the bank, it’s great and going to get even better.

      In some ways sure, but our current ecological trajectory is pointed towards issues even fabulous wealth will only be able to mitigate.

        it’s not, but keep telling yourself that because it makes you feel smart and important, no doubt.

        we will invent better crops dude. humans are incredibly successful at adapting to changing climate conditions, it’s the reason our species is all over the fucking planet, even in the harshest environments.

      A few million? Nah, that is not being rich. A few billions, and then we’re talking. Then we are starting to get into private island and bunker in New Zealand money. A few millions is just a successful lawyer, not-so-small business owner or someone who inherited a house in a good part of the town. They may be more than a cancer diagnosis away from poverty, but not by much.
