    There is a traditional remedy for that imbalance. Large scale, unrestrained, mass violence. When people's kids start dying they start rioting. When the state fails to respond to their needs, or responds by protecting the owner class and repressing them, then the population withdraws all consent and the state simply evaporates. The resulting anarchy is highly unpleasant and regressive. The existing elite may be mass murdered, and that's nice, but a new elite eventually takes control by force and is even worse. At least the existing elite can spell.

      I'm pretty sure the report was linked here.
      I’m about to enter a panel with Shawn Otto, really excited to hear from him. I liked his book “the war on science”

            I didn't say it was a good idea. I said it's what happens. Maybe if we cut down income inequality and carbon emissions it would be, I dunno, less likely to happen.

              We should just build more affordable housing in Houston area flood plains. That's worked well for the last 20 years.

                    I just wonder if we're ever going to move past the privatize the profit and socialize the losses mentality. Cause I don't see how that works if we're actually going to fight climate change. Or, medical bankruptcy. Or hunger. Or anything else that ails this society.

                      Society has a way of doing that every few hundred years. It destroys itself and rebuilds.

                      Kepler almost had it right. He says that bad things will replace the people who can spell right. Fortunately for us, as time goes on, Id say there’s a 50:50 shot at something better.

                      Sometimes you get the United States, UK, France. Sometimes you get Russia, Philippines, and Central Africa.

                      Either way, society is self-regulating like all other cyclical things. Tell enough people to eat cake, and you lose your head.

                        Keep ****ing off these men, Greta.

                        “ Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, whose country has seen rapid deforestation of the Amazon rainforest under his leadership, lashed out at teen climate activist Greta Thunberg and called her a "brat" for demanding a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

                        Thunberg responded by proudly adding "brat" in Portuguese to her Twitter bio.”
