- sometimes i really remember that image of a the evolution of man and at the last step it says we need to turn back

- some of the recent inventions genuinely feel like "oops this is a bad idea, lets go back one step"

- a non deterministic system that actively atrophies skills and people actively signing up for it left and right has to be one of the wildest things i have seen in my lifetime so far

Genre of hn comment where you lump criticisms that have not much together “we need to go back bro”

Can we stop ourselves from irreversible harm to the planet, though? Not necessarily turning back, but imposing reasonable constraints to growth?

I have less faith every day that this is possible. We are already going to clear 2 degrees C.
