First you didn't beleive I read it, then you tell me I'm confusing myself! I would suggest removing the 'phd' on your username and replace it with something more your speed, like 'sh!t'

EDIT: ok maybe that was a bit harsh but the only way dystopian anything can be a good thing is to people who like dystopia which is then actually utopia and it reverts back to my original answer which is - dystopia = negative.

You are debating nomenclature and not the core argument, which is that in a world 'destroyed' by climate change, are people necessarily worse off? As most arguments say 'yes'

Thanks for the tip, but the PhD refers to a nightclub not the academic title and is actually a typo it should be DigiCat lol. I used the word dystopian to attract interest in the paradox.

I think the problem I'm having here is that all your terminology is open-ended and subjective. Terms like 'better off' 'happier' 'healcare advancements' are not measurable. It may be possible to answer your own question by reversing the thought. Like, will our dystopian future be caused by our attemp to fight climate change and can that dystopia be mitigated with the use of technological advancements?

This is an open ended philosophical question, not an attempt at empirical analysis
