of course we should be using all renewables now (as well as nuclear), but the world will only need more and more energy in the future. Sustainables are a bridge and a supplement, but for long term security, fusion is the answer. fusion empowers us to do whatever humanity is capable of.

i see a lot of naysaying in the comments and a lot of superstition.

the one thing you all got right is that it will never work in the hands of capitalists. however, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work in the hands of academia.

another thing that i think somebody in this comment section got right is the acceleration of fusion power. it’s obvious that fusion power works. we just can’t work out the details to make it net positive and scalable. i think those things are possible, and that we need all the help we can get to develop it.

something i don’t see people mentioning is how an AI properly trained on human behavior could lead us down a path of sustainability without making us feel like we were forced to. with the right carrots and sticks, you can lead humanity to water and make it drink.

but none of this is possible without abandoning capitalism and unifying the world. we have to move away from nation states and fiat currency. and guess who are the people that stubbornly cling on to these concepts across cultures? conservatives and the religious - these are the two most cancerous concepts in the human species. roughly half of the human population across all cultures are backwards minded people clinging on to outdated concepts and unwilling to let go of the idea.

if you can figure out how to eliminate conservatism and religion, utopia is within reach.

there aren’t always non-violent solutions. i accept that reality. it’s nothing to be proud of, but i would be ashamed if i couldn’t deal with that truth.

we need more men willing to stand up for women.

lemmy is full of sissy pacifists but i upvoted you.

I tend to ignore posts about him. I wouldn’t even be commenting here if I weren’t just trying to see if I’m banned from this instance, or just political memes.

yes. you can read my previous comments on how to switch. all i’m trying to do is make people understand how to switch.

spoiler: it isn’t pretty

how very interesting indeed!

are you trying to bait me into getting banned? i’m on your side, genius. i’m just not a weak do-nothing like some of you.

nah. i will always use my voice to offer true solutions. countless lives are at stake. we should have done the right thing years ago.

use your imagination

because we allow the 30-40% who will vote for him to exist. they won’t change their minds. there’s only one solution.

i saw phish in the 90’s over 30 times for ~$27 a show. i don’t go to shows any more.

yeah, i’m not into the theater kids style of D&D either, but i do like immersive RP balanced with combat and problem solving.

basically 2e style: a fantasy simulator with a lot of gritty mechanics, where the party keeps it mostly serious, and the GM uses historical inspiration to make a culturally and mythologically balanced world that is part sandbox, part scripted, medium magic, and very immersive - a world that is not centered around the players, a world where PC death is a real risk and the players have to actually be engaged to survive.

like, serious D&D shit.

walk away, casual observer. you do not want to climb the slope to this grognard’s mighty bastions. surely, you will be defeated.

the right way to play dungeons and dragons

between work colleagues, sure, but if it’s a government office or just a business, there’s no way i’m going through all the channels online. i’ve had many cases where a bureaucracy would have crushed my request, but because i got through to a living being, the matter was cleared up in minutes.
