"The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks, said Günther Thallinger, on the board of Allianz SE, one of the world’s biggest insurance companies. He said that without insurance, which is already being pulled in some places, many other financial services become unviable, from mortgages to investments."

Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer
Action urgently needed to save the conditions under which markets – and civilisation itself – can operate, says senior Allianz figure

„… Earth is moving beyond the range within which modern human civilisation developed. We’re entering climatic conditions that our infrastructure, ecosystems, economies and institutions were never designed to accommodate.“

Les CEOs des entreprises d'IA passent leur temps a clamer que leur produit va détruire la civilisation.

We’ve been dealing with the climate as an isolated, almost linear concept,
where it’s a problem with a fix.
But not a single nation stuck to the Paris agreement.
People are getting solar panels, but we’re all using more carbon-emitting fossil fuels as well

Your worst fears about cultural collapse might be true – here’s what you can do about it
Writer Sarah Wilson argues we’re hurtling toward the same end as ancient Rome and the Mayan civilisation – but there’s plenty to fight for

In terms of the writing itself, Virginia Woolf’s stuff was / is still next level. A random quote from ‘To the Lighthouse’:
"To pursue truth with such astonishing lack of consideration for other people's feelings, to rend the thin veils of civilisation so wantonly, so brutally, was to her so horrible an outrage of human decency that, without replying, dazed and blinded, she bent her head as if to let the pelt of jagged hail, the drench of dirty water, bespatter her unrebuked. …

The message for a modern audience is, again, not subtle: society will collapse if we abandon our rules-based international order. If Nolan’s film really is “woke”, this is why – because it’s fundamentally a film about the value of multilateralism produced for an increasingly nationalistic world. It makes clear that a commitment to international diplomacy isn’t a nice-to-have – it’s a prerequisite to civilisation.

Private equity makes money by defecting in a civilisation-wide game of prisoner's dilemma in which we've all been cooperating for generations.

Of course December 25th, 1999 will be the last ever #TOTP because in just a matter of days the millennium bug will wipe out the entirety of human civilisation.
