We have no governance structures which can cope with rapid technological change. Our problems come from rapid technological change. And colonialism. Pretty much the entire spectrum of political philosophies are worthless trash today. They're about industrial age struggles.

People who understand the problem are going to have to fix the problem. You don't send elected representatives to design nuclear power stations. It's done by experts. Climate change, if given to experts, will get managed. Put climate people in charge of making the laws? It stops

How long for democracy to elect climate scientists to positions of real power? How long before a climate scientist is the President of the United States? Not before it's too late to do anything to steer. We will be well into a global drought and famine by the time that happens.

So I urge you to think about this: what governance structures might have the foresight and power to keep us alive? Who exemplifies those values? I'll tell you who: @elonmusk. You tell me how to put that guy in charge of more of the human survival planning. Give me *that* plan.

Your politics are trash. You're fighting for causes which are *irrelevant*. You could get everything you wanted, and still die of famine in a world bare of food resources as deserts eat the farmland. You'd do better watching NFL games than left/right politics. It's just noise.

I urge you to drop all your values that are not directly aligned with avoiding human extinction. I commend to you this course of action: form new political movements which directly and responsibly deal with extinction risk. Think beyond Marx and Hayek: they're irrelevant. Wake up

In blockchain I see the seeds of a global resource management system orders of magnitude more effective than invisible hand consumer capitalism. Finally something to price externalities. Something to track polluters. Something to enable international cooperation. My agenda.
