>>2152879There's not going to be any 'virgin' wilderness left outside of maybe Northern Canada or Siberia, and uninhabitable wastes like the arctic, Antartica, or the Sahara. The entire world is now covered by modern civilization, and will become like the old world, with continuous human presence and alterations to the environment. The wild frontier has been dead for over a century, time to rip that bandaid off.
On the bright side the 'end of history' was a complete meme and we're in for instability, scarcity, population collapses, the breakdown of infrastructure, mass dark-age style migrations, etc. Our grandkids will enjoy the kino of wandering through depopulated and ruined cities of rusting steel and cracked asphalt with trees and vines pushing through, and farmland once raped by industrialized agriculture returning to a more traditional model within a overall much more rural society. There will still be nature and wilderness, and the world will no longer be a concrete-glass-asphalt globalist hellscape. But the truly wild frontier was the odd historical product of early modern Europeans encountering an entire continent of scarcely populated stone age tribes. It'll never happen again. The future still has new beauty in store, however.
