In torn between following my dreams and dedicating my life to attempting to help the climate crisis by going to school and inventing some tech to help

and giving up entirely, coasting through life with my stable government job, and drinking to forget until the day I hang myself…

This world is fucked, should I even try? Or should I just hope in reincarnation?

Would you really want to be reincarnated onto this sweat box of a planet?

Lots of planets out there, maybe another has life, and you can be snail-like creature on beta-kapsilon 114-3b

It’s looking more and more depressing on that front too…

Apparently we’re discovering that our type of star system with its long periods of stability and lack of local disruptive bodies is incredibly, incredibly, rare… There are a (literal) astronomical amount of systems out there so there’s no way we’re the only one with life, but it’s really looking like there could only be a “handful” of others out there :/
