consider a scenario though where (for the sake of simplicity) we have an america and an africa. increase in temp makes growing crops near impossible in africa. the most disadvantaged become more so. they are starving, and so they turn to violence to steal food from usa

now imagine the usa does not have enough for both nations to eat. they can no longer import crops from africa that helped sustain them. their people are beginning to go hungry too. the homeless are hit hardest first. crime goes up there too.

Scenarios like this can go on forever and be anything. This isn’t a problem. So it’s afoul of Wittgenstein.

but it could be a scenario right? im not really interested in whether or not its going to happen. the question in my eyes is whether or not its possible. and i think yes, which means its a risk we should definitely account for

How many such scenarios exist? Could you account for them?

There are indefinite and you couldn’t account for them. Accounting for possibilities isn’t a possible way of proceeding. The only way is to find new problems and solve them.

ah okay. does that mean you think futurism/future-proofing doesnt do much? plus our current probs are climate change & nukes & global inter-reliance. solving that will reduce the possibility for future potential fuckery in that area.
