Let's face it we're a bunch of apes, a few are intelligent and functioning, and it's a miracle anything works at all.

At least that makes me feel better because it just makes me happy when anything works at all.

Okay but we need to do better or literally everyone dies to climate change, right? So...

The sad thing is that we won't just die to climate change, but everything becomes way more hellish than it already is, to the point where we'd wish we had just died...

Yeah it won't be the gentle 20th century 'sirens and then two hours later everyone suddenly stops existing' apocalypse. It will be brutal and horrible and show us the worst we can be. Everybody with die-by thousands, by dozens, one by one.

We need to free ourselves from some of the classes who will absolutely not be making it through any filters, if we want to do that, and I don't think shitty Jeff is going to settle for 'aging beach himbo who can run the fuck out of a spreadsheet and power game your tabletop group to ruin'

Exactly. No point in worrying if there's nothing we can do about it anyway!

And this doesn't count as suicide, becausebim pretending its not happening! Its perfect!
