Shima Honnou posted:Our dumbshit government sent a copy of season 1-4 of West Wing to Myanmar to try to 'teach them how to do a government', there are zero experts anywhere near the helm, it's grifters or drooling morons the whole way. Is that how it happened? I sincerely couldn't tell whether this was a joke and the first few stories Google offers up claims it was a self-study program Hillary told them we could improve on. If we sent it to them in the first place that's even better

That seems like a reasonable assessment to me. Internet communication (probably all communication involving more than two people, really) has always had persistent issues with is/ought confusion, but in this thread in particular you're probably going to see a lot of sentiment that a thing is definitely going to happen and also is a bad thing.

I wouldn't call that one strangely overlooked so much as very personal - if you decide the answer is "no", there's not a whole lot to gain from advertising the decision. It's not like you need to round up more popular support to be confident of victory.

Paradoxish posted:Eh, they kind of get it, they're just thinking over a shorter term than a lot of people in this thread. This is really what's always been holding most people back, isn't it? This pathological fixation on not just the next moment, but all the way out to a next day and a next year. That's just so unhealthy. You've got to let go of all that future baggage, accept that this present is all that exists or ever will exist, and appreciate that in this beautiful moment number is up.

Perry Mason Jar posted:End the wars and end class society. Members of the classless society (as well as the society in transition) can solve the crisis by their own means - which are totally foreign and unknowable by me - without need for my or anyone else's diktats. I realize this thread of conversation has progressed a little by now, but this problem of time scale seems kind of important. Do you think it's plausible that society could reorganize to the point where it is totally foreign and unknowable by you in the span of...what's an optimistic assessment at this point? 20 years or so? Before enough systems have collapsed violently enough that providing "housing, employment, healthcare, and education guaranteed (free!!)" to everyone in the world is flatly impossible with or without massive societal change. Or are we just eliding the mass death that will obviously presage the society in transition?

Certainly none of it would be the sort of unknowable or foreign to last-decade me that I couldn't have made some pretty good suggestions about how to tackle problems that existed then and also exist now.

The Oldest Man posted:I'm honestly not sure if I even want to tell people about the Laptev pocket. What would be the point? We had our chances, rich people decided they'd rather trade the entire future away to stay rich, the majority of everyone else was too ill informed and self-interested to say different or too poor and brutalized to resist or both, and now a certain outcome is more or less locked in. Mostly I've been trying to figure out how to have a very vague conversation with my wife; it feels like there's some important practical joint decision making to do re: "how bad do things have to get before you think you might want to flee the cities and/or check out entirely?" but I can't really figure out how to broach it in a way that gets us to real discussion without getting into enough detail for panic or depression. All this would have been so much easier if I'd just clung to antisocial hermit status for, like, three years longer than I managed. e: also, eating more barbeque Irony.or.Death has issued a correction as of 01:51 on May 8, 2021 |

Blockade posted:First part through early second I guess. I have a nasty insulin habit so I won't last any longer than our modern supply chains do. I've accepted all this and only aim to maximize the number of happy days I have left with my loved ones. I'm in Chicago, which I expect will fair better than Miami at least. To that last one, I'm not going to be around to worry about it, but I'll leave a nice note and some homemade canned goods for whatever raider finds my apartment Definitely the city for you and I'm surprised you were considering anything else if you depend on insulin. Chicago's not one of the obviously hosed in the first wave places like Phoenix or Miami and your loved ones are (hopefully, mostly) already there. More generally because people keep asking "Where should I go?" and getting "Who knows? Just don't be in Phoenix", I present my brief guide for people who know they definitely need to move soon. To set expectations at the outset, there are no possible destinations that are likely to keep your kids from needing to eat your body. The realistic goal here is just to get yourself out of the the Southwest and to somewhere that might still have fresh water six months from now. Step 1: Decide how you definitely don't want to die. There's going to be enough stuff going wrong everywhere that you probably don't get to pick how you will die unless you're unusually proactive, but picking a least favorite can help you narrow down candidates. For example if you're willing to accept increased risk of raiders and starvation to avoid wildfires, you can cross California off your list and add Montana. Step 2: Go as far north as you can without hating life right now. If you're posting on the internet that probably means Seattle/Chicago/Minneapolis/Anchorage. If you can get into Canada their 'good' cities are Montreal and Vancouver. If you are lucky enough to already have friends or acceptable family north of you, just go where they are. If you're the kind of person who is going to be happy and healthy today in a place smaller and norther than this without already having established connections, you are not a person who needs my advice. If you're working with the other side of the Atlantic I can't give you specific cities but the same principles apply; the only major difference is that you need to weight "likely response to all of India turning into a migrant refugee population" more heavily in your considerations.

Trabisnikof posted:Generic advice to just “go north” might be a bit misguided because the interior north gets and will continue to get worse or as bad summers as the south, but with bonus lovely soils and precipitation patterns that will dump more and more of the decreasing annual precipitation in snow events. Personally I agree but that's why step 1 is the personal evaluation of death preferences. I like to think of the current PNW heat wave/great lakes flooding as a pair of warning shots to remind us that nowhere is actually good or safe even in the ways you might reasonably hope - so yes overall if you want to avoid high heat you're going to want to tie north to a coast but that increases your risk of sudden water-related death, etc. Maybe you're more OK with summers that kill you for leaving AC than you are with being slammed by the Atlantic acid garbage patch and that's not the call I'd make but I won't tell you you're wrong for it.
