"whoever goes first is worse off."
I'm not saying its something our species would ever be willing to do, put the needs of the species over how do I get a better deal than other humans/what's in it for ME?
I'm saying its what we should be doing. Selfishness, at the end of the day, is the very reason we're doomed by our own hands though.
There is no long term eventuality where humanity survives AND continues to sanction greed, our most destructive, darkest impulse. At least someone who hurts others out of hatred cared about who they hurt and how they hurt them in some way. Insatiable greed treats its victims as nameless speed bumps to glorious acquisition.
Someone taking more than they need in front of other humans should be treated with the same revulsion and consequences as pedophilia imho. Again, that won't happen. We are doomed, after all.
That's what I was referring to as "give up and die".
If it can't work with the humans that exist, then it's not an actual solution, or even valid economics for that matter. There's been a lot of research into externalities and how to address them.

Yes, they're addressing the problem quite effectively.
Can I interest you in a carbon filter in these trying times?
Or you could perhaps start on Wikipedia.
If it fulfills you to label me as ignorant, I have no problem with that.
I would be more fulfilled if you didn't spread defeatism and refuse to educate yourself.
