thermodynamics isn't magic, and isn't going to be solved by handwaving it away with "magic". might as well just state you're too r-slurred to understand the problem cause you're expecting "magic" to solve it.

Imagine trying to explain a cell phone to someone in the 1920's. In a hundred years we will have cowtools beyond your imagination, and we already have the cowtools to survive even the most outlandish climate doomsday theories.

Oh yeah dude I'm sure you understand every piece of tech that goes into a modern cellphone lmao
Even experts in the field have limited scopes to their knowledge. Not many people could instruct someone on how to build a cellphone from the ground up, possibly none.

Being able to construct something and fundamentally understanding it are very different things. I understand how a graphite pencil works fundamentally but I could not make one on my own.

A graphite pencil is incredibly different from a cellphone. I guarantee you do not even understand the basics of how they work. If someone gave you graphite, a basic mineral, you could make a graphite pencil. If you were given all of the materials for a cellphone and the ability to shape them how you wanted you still could not make a cell phone.

No, you could not make a modern graphite pencil, it's actually very difficult.
Second verse, same as the first. Tell me you're r-slurred without telling me you're r-slurred.

it's a small telephone that you can carry around and works without being connected to a wire.

This is the second time someone has said this exact same r-slurred shit
BEING A PHONE IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE MAIN FUNCTION OF MODERN SMART PHONES DUMBASS

Its a small phone that lets you send r-slurred comments such as the one i am responding to and have everyone laugh and ridicule you.

Tell me you're a reeetard without explicitly saying "I'm a fricking reeetard."
A phone, as people in 1920 understood it, doesn't -- within seconds of receiving that task -- tell you the fastest land route from Istanbul to Paris, taking into account current traffic jams and construction sites. That's one of thousands of examples of what smartphones do routinely.

Being a "phone" isn't even the primary function of the modern cell phone

The only part of a snartphone that is fundamentally new to someone from the 20s is computerisation and the internet.
A computer is fairly easy to explain on a basic level. Its a complicated machine using lots of very small switches to turn an input into an output. The rest is minaturisation and adding more and more little switches, the scale of which is literally the only hard thing to imagine.
The internet is also fsirly easy to explain fundamentally. Its a telegraphy network with the telegraphist replaced with a computer. The scale and impact it has on our lifes is the mind-blowing part, the actual "physical" aspect is just a new iteration and improvement of existing technology.
Truly revolutionary and mind-blowing to people were the discovery and utilisation of the EM spectrum, or radiation, electricity, relativity, the atomic model, the end of the heliocentric/geocentric models, or that the earth is round.
Its the difference between engineering revolutions, and "theoretical" science revolutions that fundamentally change our understanding of the universe, not just the way we interact with it.

imagine trying to explain to them how to fix nitrogen for fertilizer. oh wait, that's right, the Haber process was invented in 1909 and we've haven't come up with anything better cause technology still isn't magic.
worst case we trigger venus (which is the inevitable end state of earth anyways, the question is only a matter of when). we literally don't have the cowtools to survive that.
it hurts talking to r-slurs.

Youre right that we wouldnt survive that, but it doesnt matter cause that will never happen until the sun swallows us.

If worst came to worst with major resources we could probably build a generational ship right now. Easy in 50 years.
Not that it matters because we are talking about a slight change in temperature and a few extra storms every year by any reasonable prediction.

you realize that self-sustaining biosphere experiments have so far failed.
delaying climate change doens't require any serious unknowns, but ya major resources would be needed. sooner than later for it to be meaningful.

The only time it's been meaningfully tried with humans was 25 years ago, but you can easily make one in a jar. The collective scientific minds of the modern world could easily figure it out.

sure man, keep betting on magical unknowns instead of solving knowns, that's surely the true path to sustainability. go drink you soylent.

I'm not betting on unknowns lmao the entire idea of needing a generational ship is unbelievably removed from reality. I'm just saying that we could probably do it. What I know is that we have AC and heaters so climate change is nbd.

look at microsd cards, compared to hard drives 40 years ago.
A piece of plastic the size of your pinkie nail, storing over 8,000,000,000,000 individual 1s and 0s, practically waterproof, and costs less than a tank of gas

I have a 1 tb micro SD in my phone with like 500k books in it. I'm not even sure a library with 500k books even existed 40 years ago.
