    Kinda gloomy question: If you knew for sure that climate change is going to be a major existential disaster for the planet and that we're already too late to prevent it, how would that change how you live the rest of your life (assuming first act will unfold in our lifetimes)

        Wouldn't have the second kid and would change the way I raise the first: less behaviors and skills for capturing upside; more for mitigating risk and downside.

        Interesting answer! What would qualify as skills for capturing upside vs skills for mitigating risk and downside? And how would you educate kids for such skills?

        move to a community with enough groundwater and rainfall to sustain the area for at least the next century. Live small now, so that you don't feel forced to it when it's inevitable.

        I'm researching permaculture, vertical farming, and other high density food production methods; looking for land that will still have fresh water, and considering who I should recruit for my commune.
