The worst and most probable case is that we keep going as we are, triggering total collapse.
But the message in plain terms? We are running out of time faster than we think, because the danger was underestimated from the start.

The technocracy's capex and lobbying is mind-blowing. A small portion of society is becoming kings.

"Oh wow! A weather station at Dayrestan Airport in Iran reported a temperature of 40ยฐC (104ยฐF) with a dew point of 36ยฐC (97ยฐF) and a relative humidity of 81% earlier today. This yields a heat index (or โfeels-likeโ temperature) of 83.3ยฐC (182ยฐF). New World Record?"

The state of publishing (and the rest of the world) saddens me, of course.
But one upside is...
I'm now writing 100% for me.

I'm writing for the pure joy of it.
(smiles)
That's freeing. And a source of happiness.
