The Good Place toyed with the concept that as civilization became planetary, and so many transactions became interrelated, morality became so complex that it was impossible to navigate any action without tripping across some tremendous moral failure. This kind of sums up a theory I have about a lot of our social issues and spiritual miasma we're going through: we're feeling the entire planet all at once now. We see and feel everything happening everywhere. We haven't developed ways to cope with this.

This short essay by @davelevitan is haunting, prescient, and comes to a lot of the same conclusions I've come to - sulfate aerosol geoengineering is probably inevitable. earther.gizmodo.com/geoengineering… The reasons are pretty stark and obvious.

Sulfate aerosol geoengineering is going to be cheaper to China than losing Shanghai, and cheaper to India than losing Bangladesh.

It is unknown, dangerous, and terrifying - but so is climate change. And geoengineering will be cheaper.
