@murdoc @gerrymcgovern @ReggieHere @chikl There is a difference between science and technology. Science is about finding out how the universe works. Technology is about doing and making things. The real problem is that out technosphere has become so immense that it crushes the biosphere. Therefore, the technosphere needs to shrink dramatically, no matter what we do.
The humans of the future, if there are any, if Homo sapiens can escape extinction, will have to do with much less technology, but not with less science.

@murdoc @ReggieHere @chikl @gerrymcgovern The real problem is that we humans aren't making the rules. Planet Earth is making the rules, and we need to accept that we are just very clever monkeys with swollen mutant brains, and all the rules that apply to any large primate also apply to us. We can't live on this planet as if we own the place, because we don't. We're just part of the landscape like any other living creature.

@murdoc @ReggieHere @chikl @gerrymcgovern I don't think that will be possible. Scarcity is making a big comeback, and the Industrial Age is unravelling. We have missed our window for achieving sustainability, and now the entire system is beginning to collapse.

@ReggieHere @chikl @gerrymcgovern I think we need something more radical: We need to build a society without money, without markets, without private property. Some kind of decentralised Anarchist Communism without a state, where nobody has any more power than anybody else, where all the people are radically equal, and where everything belongs to everybody.

@ReggieHere @chikl @gerrymcgovern Unless some cryptobros set up a darknet assassination market and crowdfund the assassinations of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, etc., cryptocurrency is pretty useless other than for ransomware attacks and contraband deals.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I'm German, so I don't worry about the FBI at all. I'm much more worried about my AfD neighbours.
