The 'isms' relate the philosophical concept to a disseminating mythology. It's Eris for greeks. Evolution and nurture are the core processes running your worlds, mind and cultures. The money system is designed so that if credits are used for development then savings can only buy ecology. All economic Nobels go to development and the synthesis of ecology is not even a topic.

What? I am talking about the simple process of a system generating artificial scarcity and the psychological and cultural consequences ... I don't know why you need to come up with any *isms? Apparently it's really hard to understand the very core processes that shape our world, mind and culture ...

Climate change is just one inevitable consequence of the way our monetary system works, of the way it requires us and our society and anti-economy to behave and of the way it shapes our culture and value system ... it's really, really simple.

Without our monetary system there would be no climate change and we would enjoy the very same level of technological progress. The delay of certain technologies specifically pushed for warfare would have easily been compensated by a very different (cooperative) approach to worldwide R&D.

A sane society would not ruin their biosphere in the name of an insane and highly criminal monetary system and the most absurd concepts like pointless "economic growth" beyond market saturation, #bullshitjobs ,etc. ... regardless of their technological level.

But to biopoliticians, 'the last reset' is actually evolution.

Humanity is not evolving. Humanity is de-evolving as the latest compound-interest cycle reaches its peek and causes ever increasing levels of artificial scarcity, fear, ego, competition and thus degeneration of quality of average consciousness. You are mistaking technological progress with genuine development.

Technology just amplifies your impact. If you are evil/insane (feature a high-entropy consciousness) you will use technology to further increase the entropy inherent to your society and surroundings. If humanity was actually evolving (which can only happen in an environment of abundance and thus love, empathy, cooperation) we would still be using the same level of technology but with a million-fold less negative impact on our society and biosphere.

4 billion _PURELY_ _SYSTEMIC_ #bullshitjobs for example serve absolutely nobody and no meaningful purpose (they don't advance humanity nor technology) and use technology to pollute and destroy our environment and society.

I don't know why it's so hard to understand? Climate change = entropyInherentToSociety amplified by technology. A crazy society (shaped by centuries of artificial scarcity) will use technology to destroy everything in the name of ego, monetary "profit", cancerous "growth", etc. ... nothing of this has anything to do with genuine development. Again: We have been heavily degenerating ever since market saturation peeked again after the last rest (WW2) and "growth" could only be maintained by engaging in ever increasing levels of insanity ... like entertaining billions of #bullshitjobs, like pushing consumerism to never-seen-before heights, etc. etc., ...

Dude, our weather is collapsing ... seasons failing us ... even jet streams changing directions ... wtf are you talking about? We are about to experience the biggest catastrophe and the largest radicalization of society due to _REAL_ scarcity instead of _SYSTEMIC_ _ARTIFICIAL_ scarcity. Read https://www.amazon.com/Fall-Afterword-Steve-Taylor-ebook/dp/B07DGPD76K is you want to get an idea about what a similar (non man-made) catastrophe meant for humanity ~6000 years ago ... it basically turned us into the insane morons we are today ... and we still haven't recovered because artificial scarcity induced ego would soon be utilizing a system of artificial scarcity to preserve the status quo.

If we don't implement a cooperative monetary system climate change will speed up the radicalization and degeneration a 100-fold and you will experience something much worse than any Hollywood movie could ever portray. 50 degrees C in summer will be the last thing you'll worry about once the average quality of consciousness drops further.

The worries about climate change come from estimating the impact greenhouse effects have on the polar caps. Most of today's islands are at today's sea level. Maybe moving the population living at sea level to higher grounds would lessen those worries.

This.

Climate change can be seen as the high entropy manifestation of
    our high

    billions
    of #bullshitjobs and this all-devouring anti-economy and
    anti-society.
The establishment will not allow for such a system to emerge as it
    means
    that there would be no more asymmetries in material wealth nor
    power ...
at the same time, the vast majority of the population is not even
    aware
    of that answer nor of the improvements it would mean for their
    existence.

Climate change is a mere symptom ... just like Trump is ... just like ever increasing levels of poverty and social stratification are
    ... just
like all the insanity you hear about in the news is. What is there to compute? The artificial scarcity our monetary system induces is destroying every aspect of our existence: Our minds, the quality
    of our
consciousness, the way we interact with one another, our very core
    assumptions about life and our existence and also our very
    biosphere and
    planet. Do you really need new models or number crunching
    algorithms to
see that? Native Americans just called the whole process "wetiko" and
    they understood very well that it will destroy our planet once
technology would amplify the impact of our insanity a 1000-fold.
