The fossil fuels that made modern prosperity have
also made this Clown World a one-track railway into hell:
there is nearly zero chance some 'friendly AI singularity'
will magically unrape the defiled Earth from decades of
chemical onslaught, as transhumanists dream of ascending into
the Matrix the don't pay as much attention to ecological collapse
that is economically the 'most efficient' for global corporations
building the trans-humanist future: i.e. the resource scarcity
of capitalism is inherent feature that makes fossil fuels
and derived chemicals very cheap. Byproducts of fossil fuels
are entire technological sectors, that would rise in complexity
to disguise their bare 'fossil' origin but cannot shed
dependency. Plastics in particular is cheap, pervasive and
easily distributed 'raw material', now in your brain tissues as microplastic that
will not decay(unless your brain is bacterially infected by
plastic eating bacteria, and then you have bigger problems).
