Brewster Kahleclimate disruption -> refugees -> conflicts -> strongmen
so goes the prediction. As an exercise...
Assume for the moment we know this will happen (or maybe you think it is happening)...
What can we do to stop each step of this?
Eric Forste@brewsterkahle If that's the way you see things, then obviously the thing to do is to slow down and maybe ultimately prevent the climate disruption. But that's what Greta Thunberg has been saying, and no one pays attention to her.
Beeks@arkiuat @brewsterkahle stopping climate disruption is no longer an available option. In fact climate disruption is already very much here. So are many strongman, conflicts, and refugees.
My initial thought would be that you can't prevent conflict or help refugees with strongmen in charge so eliminating/preventing them is not just the best way forward, but the only viable one.
Of course the counter would be: without a strongman can you effectively defend from another? I'd hope so, but 🤷🏼♂️

@Beeks Stopping it may no longer be an option, but preventing it from being much worse than it will get if we continue to do as little as we have been doing is still very much an urgent option. @brewsterkahle @arkiuat
@arkiuat @brewsterkahle if I get a hold of a nuke I'll drop it on Davos. Outside of that I have no idea how we prevent it from continuing on the same course straight towards extinction.
