Just for clarification, I don't think it'll be fast. It will just be faster than without it.
Also, I think we'll hang on to a lot because the survivor base will likely be made up of people from all walks of life. STEM Professionals, teachers, carpenters, you name it. And as long as we learned our lesson about religion, we'll pass that knowledge on.
It's not hubris. Humans are one of, if not the most adaptable species on the planet. Unless it gets so hot that the caves become uninhabitable, we'll squeak by.
I see it like this: If there is a way, we will find it. It's in our DNA.
That's where we disagree. I think there will be small inhabitable areas of the planet for centuries, at least. If not, there are caves. Humans are nothing if not -persistent.-
We survived an ice age, though, and we're very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.
Translation: I have no fucking spine
"Someone told me Obama did it, and I don't care to verify the information because it fits my worldview."
Holy shit... He really is "draining the swamp." He just sees us as the swamp.
Yeah. And probably found a new way to live. Do you consider Humanity to be intrinsically tied to modern society?
Just the tip?
I love to see it, and I genuinely hope you're right!
I'm sorry. I promise I'm a big picture optimist, if that helps! 😜

Mass extinction, not complete extinction.

This quote really stuck with me. It's where I see the silver lining:
"Blessed are those who plant trees under whose shade they will never sit."
It was a shower thought?
It just hit me in a sobering kinda way.

100% . I love to see it!

I think you're selling us short! 😜
What do you disagree with, though?
These never stopped being a thing. They're called "Sundown" Towns; if you ain't welcome you'd better be gone by sundown.

Looks half decent on the surface, actually. Too bad it'll likely just be the return of Insane Asylums, or worse; concentration camps.
Edit: Nuance is dead on the internet.
I feel like we live in a parody
