npub148lqtauppw8feahd5nfw9yud82lc28e2xz0mly02pr9jyqc6v9ds3rwh97 (npub148l…wh97) Appealing to thinking about children and grandchildren is a good tactic, but there's one that doesn't get mentioned much: appealing to thinking about our future selves.
You know how "by the year 2050" gets mentioned a lot in climate change predictions? I'll turn 80 that year, and based on family history I'll still be alive.
I'm GenX. Millennials will be in their 60s and 70s.
I don't want to be spending my old age in an apocalyptic hellscape.
