Quote from: Knarf on Aug 12, 2023, 04:48 AMFun argument. I understand. I think the Doc says this in the article. He says something like "if the decision as being made consciously or unconsciously it doesn't matter. We are killing our host at a metastasized rate."

I read that line, but even if it's unconscious, that still implies there is some collective decision making process going on somewhere.  There isn't.  There are only actions and consequences of actions.  We burn FFs because we have to in order to keep feeding 8B people.  We have to keep the air conditionerson in Phoenix, because in 130F heat everybody there would die by the end of summer.  Relocating the entire city isn't very feasible either, since we already are short of affordable housing anywhere you don't need the HVAC on 24/7.  Nobody has made an unconscious decision to keep Phoenix where it is, there is no decision to be made.  Some individuals with CFS have decided to leave Phoenix and others lacking in CFS continue to move there, but there is no species wide decision being made about Phoenix.  Phoenix will continue to exist as long as electricity is flowing to the air conditioners.  After that, Phoenix will cease to exist.  No decision necessary.
