“Energy demand for this unnecessary thing we invented is infinite, so we might as well give up on managing energy unless the thing that demands infinite of it can manage it for us. What do you mean just don’t use the unnecessary thing that demands infinite energy?”

Too many so-called leftists on Hexbear buy into the inevitabilism argument and say pithy pablum about how "it's going to happen anyway, so we need to discuss (unspecified) solutions that work with the new reality of treat printing data centers expanding everywhere accelerating climate collapse" because they like their new made-to-order prompted treats.
The same kind of treatbrained assholes, a century or two ago, would argue that slavery is inevitable and that solutions should work with slavery because they like their nice cheap cotton clothing.
