yep. and if we have fewer resources, why not squander them by trying to cram all the electronics, batteries, motors and other shit into an upright biped frame. because wheels was a fad and centering the mass close to the ground just makes too much sense.

I believe that humanity simply needs to go through a reset, this is already madness of the highest degree.

Unfortunately for the reset argument, I’m really attached to:
i’m an old man. I’ve seen, smelled! places where it all collapsed, and it always takes longer to rebuild than it does to just not destroy it all in the first place.
reset politics. leave the infrastructure please.

Reality unfortunately can be merciless, I myself am already preparing myself for the fact that I will be one of the first in line to die and I don’t care anymore.
I wanted to live in a civilization but not as a slave where even my thoughts are listened to while the world rots before my eyes.

There is no reset. All the easy to reach fossil fuels being gone may be an insurmountable obstacle to any reset being able to reach an industrial age

Well, okay, I was talking about this kind of reboot - people will live in poverty, valuing every resource in small communities after the collapse of civilization, how do you like that?
