        They should also not be suffering from extreme mental illness, like she is.

        The fact that this person is an ICJ judge shows you that we are living in a clown world. Our entire civilization has no clothes. We are talking chimps conducting a reckless, unplanned terraform of spaceship Earth. Our intelligence is no match for our hubris. If you haven’t figured it out yet, we are approaching our great filter and the perpetrator is ourselves.

        As she said, we are approaching the “end times”, except what comes after is the eternal nothingness of the void; the only remanence being another dead rock hurtling through space.

          Oh i’m pretty sure life on Earth won’t go extinct. The dinosaurs weren’t the last living beings either.

          In fact if humans go extinct, they’ll probably be replaced by another hyper-intelligent species in less than 100 million years, i guess. Which is 2% of earth’s age.

          Also, probably not even humanity will go extinct due to climate change. The real crisis is the late-stage capitalism which is like a cancer that eats away all the resources so the healthy tissue (humans) can’t live anymore. Tax reforms are the number one priority. Tax the rich.

            The argument has been made that, even if another intelligence arises in 100 million years, there are multiple problems for them: the Sun will be burning hotter by then, easily accessible raw material will all have been used up (Cyprus is no longer covered in surface-level raw copper, for example), we’ll probably irradiate the surface on our way out, etc.

              That might mean they figure out their societal problems before they try to industrialize

              easily accessible raw material will all have been used up

              doesn’t that just mean that these end up in landfills, i.e. close to the surface?

                In landfill, but not as raw material. If you didn’t already know how to make bronze, for example, you’d have a hell of a time making new bronze based on old contaminated remnants.

        Executing someone for being delusional or heavily propagandized strikes me as morally dubious, removing a politician from power achieves a similar effect without having to embrace capital punishment.
