Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. Especially not indignant unsubstantive ones.

No individual is responsible for things like this (if only!). This is a systems-level failure. It's only going to get worse; our short-term incentives are all wrong and our systems are set up to favor short-term thinking. Anyone with "power" who attempts to go against the existing incentives will be shut down. You need a mass movement supporting some real visionaries who are capable of solving the underlying systemic issues before there will be any real movement towards change. Unfortunately this takes time, and we may be out of time.

Climate catastrophe, overpopulation, resources running out (especially water), species being wiped out to the point where it will actually affect us, the end of antibiotics, large areas becoming uninhabitable...

I wonder what happens to mutually assured destruction when the world is guaranteed a number of huge wars over resources?

Hell is here and now.
