I was about the fully agree with you and still upvoted your comment but their perspective on climate politics is very techno optimistic and actively anti-degrowth and against trying out new ways to organize our society. It’s one thing to focus on technological solutions but they also talk against other ways to solve things. Watch the video in my first comment for a deep dive into it.

For me, Longtermism doesn’t just mean thinking about long term consequences but it implies not caring about today’s problems like climate change and poverty because the needs of the future generations outweigh the needs of our generation. I come from a perspective of “building the new in the shell of the old” and achieving long terms goals that way which is the opposite of Longtermism.

Honestly, kurzgesagt is techno optimistic and longtermism and so is that video. That’s not solarpunk. But take it from a long but worth it video essay.

For me it feels complete as it is, that said I would totally read a third part ;)

Series as in there are two, or is there a third one already?

I don’t disagree, just a quite reminder that not everyone can afford this. The meme doesn’t say it but it gives “money doesn’t buy happiness” vibes and while this isn’t false, a certain amount of money is required for this.
