[@DaveShap]

For the folks who can't discern the difference between propaganda and an actual problem: I did not say that climate change is a hoax. Please don't project that onto me. Climate change is very real. What I did say is that climate change is used as propaganda. If you want to get lost in debate on the topic, head over here: kzbin.infoUgkxvLDRIWzcJc6XgQOAqe9Ix1MAHMGvegPa

[@redstarling5171]

Yep, good video. People get too caught up in changing climate when it's one of the easiest problems to prepare and adapt for, our ancestors have survived some of the worst. My major concerns here in Australia are war, disease and an authoritarian centralised society, all three being man made.

Climate change is a natural process, mainly driven by the sun, and volcanic activity, not by human activity. Unfortunally CC is used nowadays as political propaganda.

[@rando5673]

I have become progressively more pessimistic over the years. Your video on post-scarcity economics has helped a little and the reason I watch your channel is for the rational positivity. Very excited for this video

[@ppragman]

I think pessimism is on the rise in general (don’t feel bad) because it is the optimal strategy. When you are a pessimist if you predict apocalypse you look like a genius when you get it right and nobody cares when you get it wrong because it wasn’t terrible. Conversely when you predict that everything will be great and you get it wrong the social penalty is much higher because people were counting on things being good, so the winning strategy favors pessimism. It’s a consequence of negativity bias in my opinion.

[@particle_wave7614]

personally, i view pessimism as the lazy / easy route. you don't get disappointed because you never get your hopes up. it takes some amount of effort / courage to be optimistic. optimism takes effort, but it's good for you and the people around you. doesn't mean you have to be unrealistic. just try looking for the silver linings. there are more than you might think.

[@StarLight97x]

@@particle_wave7614 I see pessimism as the logical “default”. Oftentimes, things just don’t work out the way the optimists want it to, and even when it does, there’s often a catch.

[@PeterResponsible]

interesting debate on optimism and pessimism. I mostly agree with ppragman, pessimism has status advantages. But that's just half of the story. I don't think pessimism has such a clear cut advantage all over the place; with pessimism you would not be inclined to change. You need hope (an aspect of optimism) to start some behaviour, you do something because you expect to see the fruits. You need to be optimist to be an entrepreneur for example.

Uh, I've experienced the direct effects of climate change. We had an insane heat wave in Canada a couple years ago. It was 43 degrees Celsius in areas where it is NEVER that hot. Usually 10 degrees lower than that at most. It was completely debilitating and lasted about a week. I could barely work, as I work outside. Climate change is real yo

[@gregorysouthworth783]

As a psychotherapist, I have to say I really respect many of your recommendations about curating our information sources. Unfortunately, it seems we have to be much more intentional than in times past about what we choose to digest in the form of information and use critical thinking skills. Periodic disengagement is psychologically healthy as we allow that part of our brain to seek holism in understanding just what we have experienced and to help integrate learning.

[@Projectdarke]

Thank's Dave, I needed that.❤

[@ppragman]

Climate change has been comically relevant and meaningful during my career. I recognize that living in Alaska and having spent a lot of time living and working in the Arctic may be rare, but as I watch the trends I see more and more people being impacted directly year by year. I suspect that your idea that “most people won’t be affected by it” is a little bit of it’s own sort of geographical bias.

[@parttimehuman]

Climate Change is definitely the fly in the ointment. Biodiversity is in freefall, and agriculture yields/quality will continue to be negatively impacted. And that's just the tip of the (melting) iceberg. I don't think it spells absolute doom for humanity , but many people will suffer. Particularly those from developing countries. I think the greatest irony is that the people who are most xenophobic about immigration, are typically the ones who refuse to accept the writing on the wall.

[@Vid_Master]

I agree. Im an avid reader of /r/collapse and there have been so many climate chaos related events over the last few years. in my opinion after listening to many people's point of view, lectures, and research, Its bad and its way worse than the government is telling us.

[@DaveShap]

The maximum number of climate change refugees that I've seen projected is about 500M so yeah, the vast majority of humans will not be impacted by climate change. And that's assuming those impact models are accurate (which they probably aren't). But also "winters are more mild than they used to be" is a far cry from "existential threat that deserves to get your panties in a twist over"

[@ppragman]

@@DaveShap - you’re not wrong that “most people won’t be affected” but at least up here in alaska, increased risk of forest fire, issues with subsistence and land use, and fisheries change have real effects on real people. Do we accept and ignore tragedy simply because it isn’t local? I don’t know if that’s a good strategy for the future because non-local events can definitely sum to mess up things locally. I don’t know what the answer is, to be frank, but at least to me from where I sit this is a clear and present danger to my wellbeing and I fear what the knock-on effects end up being down south. But I’m also not confident that our models are very good yet…

[@ppragman]

@@DaveShap actually I’m going to equivocate a bit and play devils advocate. 500m is about 1/16 people right? There’s 8b of us. Even if we never meet a climate refugee, displacing 1/16 (or even 1/256 people) would have major implications for the global economy right? You might never meet a climate refugee and suffer some pretty serious consequences due to the tertiary ramifications of their displacement.

Very timely and much appreciated video. I took the month of March off from all news media, all social media and just read books and spent time outdoors. I did feel better, if a little "disconnected". I've gradually added back only topics related to gaming, AI and music and generally still doing better. I do need to mention, I'm still spending more time than I'd like on these topics so still need to adjust some.

[@dzengrinder]

As someone, who lives in Russia, and had to go through the entire clown fiesta of the last 2 years, I gotta say that the "survival mechanisms" that are related to threat reaction is something, that has a very short fuse. I have friends in Kiev who'd gotten used to hearing drones blowing up and shots going off pretty soon, and the first time my city got hit by a drone, which I heard myself, cause I was outside, just caused "huh, yeah, this piece of crap exploded", and nothing else. Same as with mobilization, for example. I think people were afraid of it more, when there was a looming threat of it in the first months of the war, than during the thing itself, cause most people just figured out what you can or can't do to avoid it.

Thank you, Dave. I´m a proof of that, When I was young (12 years old), I liked to investigate, I liked to read and see content on KZbin. The bad thing was that I started to see channels with a lot of negativity (consiparacy, climate change, new world order) and a lot of stuff, I passed from being a healthy boy to a depressed person with bad health. Those years were terrible for me, my body felt like a sheet, I had a lot of problems, until I started to leave those channels with that kind of stuff, is good to be up to date, but we need to know what kind of information we get. Before, I was worried about things I really couldn´t control, but now I feel more free, and my body as well. Thank you for this video, is a reminder that since I started to consume bad stuff on Twitter, I need to quit it.

Generalizing to everyday behavior makes me think people would really help themselves if they could not get so caught up in their non-localized (in terms of direct impact to them) topics/issues… be it wars, politics, economics, media, entertainment… so much wasted bandwidth, caused in large part by our evolutionary wiring.

[@brockmiller574]

Addressing any topic that has been amplified to produce a response, however briefly, will tend to produce the response that you would expect. Pointing out your intent would only have the effect you hoped for among those who are already aligned with your observation and hypothesis. I expect you anticipated that. I also appreciate that it illustrates the point. Interestingly, the people who took issue with your statement about climate change are not wrong, but in many cases are in the thrall of the signal as it were. I have made decisions to limit my input from social media for my own mental health. I used to be an absolute politics junkie, and enjoyed bickering online. Ive not completely deleted platforms. But I have been able to observe the effect of certain sources, and some of the differences in their delivery.

10:18 I guess I technically have "Mean World Syndrome" We have tons of verified history of how awful humans have been to each other though. Bad things still happen to many people today. People are still manipulated, used, blackmailed, scammed, trafficked, stolen from, and coerced into awful situations that they can't realistically get out of. It's hard for me to listen to data that things are "technically" getting better when the world seems to be moving towards the idea of "let people do what they want" when what some of them want is to specifically put people through awful experiences and cause people pain. Especially when most of the people doing that would hate to be on the receiving end of what they like to do to others. It might not be murder and r*pe people out in broad daylight levels anymore but all that still definitely happens to a non insignificant amount of people in the world and it's hard for me to see the world as good when this continues to happen at this level after this long.

@@DaveShap Specifically, you said it wasn't affecting you. Over the last 50 years, I have seen the effects encroaching on us, everywhere. Winters used to be pretty consistent when I was a kid, but now they are erratic with wilder swings. The droughts of the 70s and 80s in California pale compared to the multi-year events we are seeing now, and hurricanes? It's a hockey stick, and we've been in denial for decades - but dismissing it because "it doesn't affect you" is the kind of thing... look, we need more empathy and compassion in the world. It also requires perspective, but we still need it, even when it's somebody bombing civilians and aid workers to spite them, or when some country on the other side of the world is over-fishing the oceans... if we ignore it, it will always come back and bite us in the ass. BTW, Kyle Hill did a great video on the human mind recently and the idea that our brains don't work the way we imagine it. "Controlled hallucinations". Our wider scope is an issue, given this view on how we view reality. Personally, I think it means we can't afford to limit our area of concern to cope.

[@ppragman]

@@DaveShap I don’t actually disagree with that - it is a big scary boogeyman… but… it is starting to cause issues to people in the circumpolar north right now where I live. In 2019 I flew fire logistics and we were evacuating communities. People’s houses were threatened largely because of fires that were more frequent due to climate change. It’s not a one to one, but climate change changed the statistics of fire management for one. I may not be directly bothered by climate induced sea level rise for instance but there are millions of people who will throughout the entire globe. Where are they going to go? The fact that there are millions of people that stand to be displaced in the coming decades is relevant to all of us. Where are they going to go? Do we have an ethical obligation to care about these people? I do not know the answer to this question, but I reckon that the most vulnerable people will likely be the most affected and it may be ethically important for us to use the technology we are inventing to help these people. That’s my graduate research presently, using computer vision to identify invasive species. Do the invasives really bother my day to day life? Not typically, but in my neck of the woods they’re a real concern to the long term viability of the fisheries and the biosphere. Just because it’s not readily apparent and obvious where you are doesn’t mean that everywhere else is fine. That’s not a criticism of your critique, it’s just an observation. AGW is one of the big problems that I think AGI can be instrumental in solving.
