    No, we’re the invasion. The stuff we pour into our water cycle is the invasion.

    “Fuck around (20th century)… and find out (21st century)” is a good synopsis of the situation.

    But don’t forget : listen to neoliberal economists ! Somehow, we’re going to keep on growing material and energy flux while magically managing the 6th mass extinction of life and the massive destabilization of Earth’s systems that we depend on.

    But wait, perhaps with enough bullshit-narrative about high-tech or AI you can keep ignoring this situation. I mean, it’s much more interesting for our ego to imagine that “THE MAIN THREAT IS AI GUYS !!!!” to ignore that we’re about to lose access to agriculture. Lmao.
