what happened in the past few years to get so many people, especially ostensibly smart people in tech circles, to buy into this death cult nonsense? I genuinely do not understand what can lead to such a mindset.
Cant comment for the “tech circle” you’re referring to, but from where I’m from “the environment” was a topic taught in school from the get go and taking a stance that we aren’t “destroying the planet” was pretty much out of the question and frowned upon.
I specifically remember one of my teacher saying they wouldn’t have children because the future was going to be unbearable for them.
