Dealing with existential nihilism

[bennyboy]

We cannot keep going faster than nature's ability to recoup what we extract. 

We can and are. You mean not that we cannot, but that we should not, because it's likely to do great harm to our quality of life and our species' chance of survival, right?

The problem is that dicks like Trump are the guys who go out and really actively do stuff. The philosophers, social scientists, and so on, usually keep their ideas in conferences, Ted talks, and dinnertime conversation. So we're gonna have a Trump-like world, almost for sure.
