    Fuck it. YOLO. Only got 10 or 20 years until the water wars or WW3 or climate change breaks everything anyway.

    psst… don’t look now, but it’s less than ten years.

      Pssst, we all wish, this shit is going to circle the drain for decades. Think it’s bad now? Just wait.

        No, I get what you mean. It just depends on what we mean by “breaks everything”. I’m not saying we’re looking at human extinction in ten years, or the complete loss of advanced industrial civilization in ten years. But I do expect in that time span massive and permanent decreases in the average standard of living and the availability of goods, services, and information.
