So my current working philosophy works out as a kind of optimistic pessimism. I'm pessimistic about the state of the world and our species, as with yesterday's post. However, I'm fairly optimistic that humanity can be persuaded to act in ways that affect the slope of this decline and the speed our handcart traverses it, instead of going straight down at high speed I think we can reach a gentle slope at a slow trundle. The longer we can hang on to the catastrophe curve without tipping over it the greater chance that more of us will be able to survive.

With that in mind, today I are been mostly interested in Scenario Building.
