You mean you will show them all of recorded human history?

Humans have always fought over resources. The idea that we should sacrifice advancement for purported sustainability is a very recent idea.

I’m overall still very happy the Industrial Revolution happened (despite global warming effects) and that we aren’t still living in an 1800s society where I have to worry about dying from an infected papercut or toiling away with a pickaxe.

We are living in the most peaceful time ever recorded. It’s hubris to think we are the “problem generation” or that the problems we face today aren’t solvable.

No, it's hubris to think we'll easily manage a system that's handling 44 quadrillion watts of power
