“We are probably already dead”
Facing existential suicide is something us Cold War kids remember
It does make a difference to go through the grieving process, denial is a part of it, because it takes radical commitments to break the cycle.
We’re not even close to a radical commitment yet.
We can’t even turn off Russian oil globally, much less fossil fuels as a whole.
But climatetech is (finally) established as a legitimate space.
Now we need govtech to change how we make political decisions.
Because climate change is a symptom of how our political systems work - reactionary & summative instead of proactive & iterative.
