Futurist alumnus forecasts a nomadic human future
--- Quote ---
> Singapore-based futurist Parag Khanna (SFS’99, G’05) uses the
lens of geopolitics to research the forces driving mass
migration. In his new book, MOVE: The Forces Uprooting Us, he
forecasts that despite two years of COVID-19 lockdown, the
future of human civilization will be defined by mobility.
>
> What drives voluntary and involuntary mobility around the
world, Khanna explains, are forces like political instability,
imbalances in labor markets, and climate change. His research
analyzes trends in civil wars and conflicts, failing economies,
technological disruption from AI and automation, and climate
change displacement, and then synthesizes takeaways.
>
> “These deep, fundamental drivers of human mobility long
predate COVID and will long outlast COVID,” Khanna says. “The
mass migrations of the past are not only going to continue, but
also expand significantly, because all of these drivers are in
overdrive.”
>
> In MOVE, Khanna predicts that more Asian populations will move
into Central Asia and Russia, and that both Asian and African
populations will move into Europe. In the Americas,
>
> he sees Canada taking leadership in accepting migrants, to the
benefit of its cultural and economic future. And within the
United States, he sees many people becoming climate migrants.
>
> “There’s a large number of climate refugees in America, from
forest fires, floods, and rising sea levels,” Khanna says.
“America itself needs to think about climate adaptation and
migration as a domestic issue, as well as a global one.”
>
> MOVE also explores youth subcultures like #VanLife—in which
young people voluntarily forego hyperconsumerism to live
sustainably while staying digitally connected—as an important
signal of change.
>
> “One of the things I learned in this process of research is to
take young people really seriously,” Khanna says. “We need to
rebuild our economic, social, and political institutions to
cater to their values, because they’re actually the right values
to have for the kind of world we’re in today.”
>
> Khanna says his interdisciplinary work was deeply influenced
by his undergraduate experiences in the Walsh School of Foreign
Service, especially in Professor Charles Pirtle’s Map of the
Modern World class.
>
> “Georgetown is one of just a handful of institutions that
continue the tradition of teaching classical geopolitical
theory. Very few people have the breadth of knowledge across
disciplines to actually teach it. And Charles Pirtle was that
man for an entire generation.”
>
> Khanna remains close with Pirtle and connects his book to
Pirtle’s class in particular.
>
> “One of the most important things that he taught us is the
complex layering of physical, political, and human geography,”
Khanna says. “That’s really fundamentally what MOVE is about.”

Will climate change drive humans extinct or destroy
civilization?
Almost certainly not—but unless we act quickly to stop warming
the planet, there will be very severe consequences for many,
many people.
[...]
“Human extinction is not really the main worry,” says Schlosser.
“There are going to be some really, really bad regional and
local consequences. Consider island nations of the world—the
type of warming that we're heading toward, with the expected sea
level rise that could force them in many places to retreat or
possibly abandon their homeland, is an existential threat to
them.”
For many people, asking if climate change is the “end of the
world” may be a way of asking if it’s the end of their world—if
they should be taking steps to cope with widespread breakdowns
in infrastructure or public services or the food supply. “And it
depends upon where you live,” says Schlosser. “I would give a
very different answer if you were living in the Northeast United
States as opposed to an island nation or the coastal plains of
Bangladesh or in the middle of the Sahel.”
In part, this is due to unequal climate impacts: low-lying
coastal areas facing two or three feet of sea level rise will
suffer greatly whether they’re wealthy Miami or impoverished
Kiribati. But there is also a basic injustice at work. Wealthier
countries and regions have the most resources to prepare for,
soften and recover from climate impacts. This means they’re more
able to bounce back after a disaster strikes.
“The most vulnerable populations are the poorest populations,”
says Schlosser. “If we do nothing about climate change,
conditions are going to get worse for people who are poor and
don't have the means to cope with it.”

Climate Change, the Erosion of State Sovereignty, and World
Order
--- Quote ---
> CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS ATTENDANT impacts on natural resources
have traditionally been treated as a“soft security” issue—a
challenge to be managed, but not necessarily a disruptive factor
in international security. Until recently, climate change was
primarily the domain of specialized negotiators, such as
environmental ministers and individuals present at the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
However, this has begun to change. In response to a growing body
of research demonstrating a significant relationship between a
changing climate and state fragility, the foreign policy and
security establishments of a growing number of nations have
become increasingly concerned. A flurry of national security
strategies, defense papers, and intelligence assessments have
suggested that climate change is a“threat multiplier”...

The only thing yet undecided is which 4.1 billion die, most
importantly whether or not the 4.1 billion will include all
"whites" (what we want), whether the 4.1 billion will be all
"non-whites" (what our enemies want), or if something in between
then how the distribution will work out.
In this regard, my prediction is not only that if rightists are
in power all the dying will be "non-whites" (since they will not
try to save "non-white" lives at all, and if anything may use
the opportunity to kill even more "non-whites" than need to
die), but also that if False Leftists are in power almost all
the dying will still be "non-whites" (because False Leftists
will indiscriminately try to save lives as efficiently as
possible which means first saving those easiest to save who will
disproportionately be "whites"). The only way we will get
anything close to what we want is if True Leftists are in power
who proactively discriminate against "whites".

I agree.
Woke comments:

> The fear of death is exactly why we got here in the first
place. I've had this theory for over a decade now that
thanatophobia, especially and specifically in the West, is the
root cause of most of the ills of this world. The desire for
eternal youth, for unrestricted growth (cancer) is a direct
result of the paralyzing fear of death that is baked into our
culture.

Sovereignty in action looks like "white" genocide.
