When growth is so inherent to your system that the opposite is "negative growth".
We built a system based on continuous growth and consumption. People freeze like deer in the headlights when it gets brought up that it isn’t sustainable and get offended that maybe we should try to make some changes to it.
Well, if you used the correct mathematical term, population decay, then you're gonna have a lot of rubes rioting about some conspiracy on how a population can't decompose or some shit.
Scientist had to change global warming to climate change when they realized some people can't look past the buzz words and learn something.
then you’re gonna have a lot of rubes rioting about some conspiracy on how a population can’t decompose or some shit.
Wtf? We should be stupid because other people are? A lot of rubes also sounds very hyperbolic.
I feel sorry for anyone who reads your comment and takes it to heart.
I genuinely think you're misreading that comment. I read this as an acknowledgement/warning of past human idiocy recurring, which, when we extrapolate from known data, is fucking likely.
Ironically, your misinterpretation has led to your own hyperbolic reaction, so maybe this is about self-pity.
That's fine.
You're wrong.
I bet the kids love you at parties 😘
I wish "a lot of rubes" were hyperbolic. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/14/americans-believe-climate-change-study
Fox & Co are doing a splendid job of growing rubes.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say.
You need to improve your reading comprehension, then.
Haha, good one
Hey man, either you're playing stupid or you are stupid.
Which is it?
