   @evan The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Sure, yes, huge fan.

   Today’s neoliberal UN that acts like the public relations department for Silicon Valley? Not so much.

     But in general I think liberal democratic values, like those enshrined in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, are sufficient to get us through this.

     I probably asked for it by using the word "surviving", but there's more climate edgelordism in the comments than I'm usually comfortable with.

     In general, if you're doing omnicidal ideation, I don't want to talk to you.

     I'm somewhat disagree. I think that we will need to change our understanding of mineral rights; a lot of those fossil fuels will need to stay in the ground.

     And we'll need to start treating ecosystem services as valuable and deserving of compensation.
