I’m not sure if I’m supposed to panic more because we’re tilting the earth, or panic less because we’re melting less ice than we thought. Or panic the same because the jury is still out in this research.

Is this some kind of anti humanity to think that every generation fucks up the earth in their way and increasingly and if that means the humanity ceases to exist that’s okay, because either I won’t be alive by then or if it happens in my time then eventually I die anyway and there’s nothing after that? So that’s fine. I mean let’s try to fix it, if not just fuck it and stop fretting over it. Let’s get done with either way.

  • Just an aside: the word for “anti-humanity” is “misanthropic”.

    • Thank you but I didn’t mean that and I am aware of that word. I meant actually “anti humanity” — something that kinda goes against the grain of humanity. Inhuman didn’t cut it either.

      Otherwise I’d have said “am I a misanthrope”. No I don’t hate mankind at all and what I mentioned isn’t hating either.

      I hope I was able to explain that I did believe that word wouldn’t fit in for what I wanted to say. Maybe some other word? sch………ude isn’t that word either I guess.

All this panic is not productive and besides, climate predictions seem to change every few decennia.
