Will the public ever be able to accept the inevitable exhaustion

>>9144215
When we run out of one resource we'll just use another for our furnaces. Like your corpse.

There's an effectively infinite supply of clean energy via nuclear fusion/ the sun, and raw materials can all be recycled.

But if you want to follow the "civilization is evil" trope and live like a stupid animal, that's totally your choice.

Why do you post blatant lies? Does it bring you sexual satisfaction of some kind? What is the evolutionary advantage of this?

>raw materials can all be recycled
Not sure if you believe complete recycling is possible, but for the sake of my sanity I'll assume you don't.

Where does the difficulty in accepting reality stem from? Why did you two shits respond aggressively and why did the dumber of you two attribute to me views that I had not expressed? What is the evolutionary basis for this?

someone needs to take a break from the red pills and take some chill ones instead

It only takes a little bit of critical thinking, basic understanding of science, and knowledge of the scales of energy and resources involved to realize that terms like "non-renewable resources" create false dichotomies.
The attempt at creating a false dilemma is so blatant, along with the popsci-level attachment question
>what is the evolutionary basis for this?
puts you in the category of "not to be taken seriously", and deserving of ridicule.

You're not smart. You're not clever. You're just a faggot.

What dilemma?
>terms like "non-renewable resources" create false dichotomies
It obviously refers to resources not renewable on a human timescale you foaming at the mouth low functioning autist degenerate cuck crank cuck faggot cuck nigger cuck.

>not to be taken seriously, and deserving of ridicule.
Where do you think you are newfag?

I'm still waiting for a deluded faggot to come here and explain the evolutionary basis of his delusional belief in a civilization that does not undermine it's own livehood.

Why the racism and homophobia?

THIS REALLY MAKES ME THINK

Even if this were true, agriculture only works because of fossil fuels right away (as we destroy more and more of naturally fertile top soils). What good is electricity if you have nothing to eat down the line?

It's weird how neo-nazis are also called right-wing terrorists, even though the underlying economical mentality is socialism.
More generally, the fact that people can't see the difference between left-right-axis and conservatism-liberalism-axis (or other descriptors) really ticks me off.

The public will accept it when gas prices start going up (faster than inflation) and they don't come back down. Nobody actually gives a fuck until it affects them. Hopefully by then the damage isn't too bad and we salvage the situation.
All that's going to happen is we make some cheap electric vehicles or some shit. You really can't expect a massive paradigm shift even with something this far reaching.

>>9146057
Even authorities on the issue call them right-wing.

>>9146066
Even if the public becomes aware of the need of replacing one of the resources with a (perhaps inferior) substitute, it is still far from acknowledging that civilization is bound to be eventually brought down by resource shortages.

Why is the topic seemingly never discussed? Even on a site full of bitter losers it's an elephant in the room.

>>9144215
but there's more natural resources in Antarctica than there has ever been in all other countries so we have a loong way until we run out.

It is discussed and at length. There are international climate talks periodically, like the Paris Climate Accord. There's organizations like the IPCC etc.

The market controls everything like this. Maxium entrophy means maximum stock price growth.

When oil gets expensive money will flow into alternatives. Then we endlessly grow into new frontiers.

Peak whale oil didn't kill civilization neither with petroleum. When oil is $140/bbl again expect the market to kill itself putting money into something that might save them a buck.

Singularityfags are more annoying than poltards at this point. I take it you are too cool for conventional religion.
