What if it’s a very slow burn after the point of no return? Presumably you’d still want to live your life and spend on yourself and loved ones (and even altruistically, on more short-term causes). No?
Nah. Once it’s clear we are all doomed, I’ll get by just fine probably—it’s unlikely that I’ll have spent literally all my money and social capital by then. And if I don’t, it won’t matter much anyway.
Because money is only useful to you for preventing us from reaching that point of no return?
Yes.
