So… the doomsday clock has run out of time, is that what you’re saying? Seems apropos.
It stopped being useful ever since they stopped using it just to visualize how quickly a nuke war could end things. Climate change is serious as shit, but it’s not going to lock in total devestation within the next two minutes. Same goes for many other slow-burn threats they try to cram in there. Many of them are already here, pretty much none have a discreet threshold to count towards.
The word you want is discrete.
You can remember it, because the T separates the Es into discrete entities
English spelling sucks by being detached from pronounciation episode 978
Logically, I think we are past the point of no return. So yeah, we may not have blown up yet, but the outcome now seems inevitable.
