I'm curious to hear someone explain why you're being downvoted

Because it is defeatist and helps no one?

“Just give up, it’s a hard problem.”

Maybe the dead in forty years comment. Though considering accelerating climate collapse and the possibility of nuclear conflict it’s not completely unreasonable in my view.
