Termostabilists

Termostabilists are a philosophical and political group that emerged in the late 21st century. Their core ideology centers on the belief that a stable and predictable global environment is the paramount objective for human civilization. This stability, they argue, is threatened by rapid technological advancement, unpredictable social change, and the inherent volatility of natural systems. Termostabilists advocate for a highly regulated and centrally planned global society designed to minimize flux and maintain a state of equilibrium.

Key tenets of Termostabilism include a cautious approach to new technologies, emphasizing rigorous testing and control before widespread adoption. They often favor incremental progress over disruptive innovation. Socially, they promote policies that encourage tradition, community cohesion, and a degree of social conservatism, viewing rapid cultural shifts as destabilizing. In terms of environmental policy, Termostabilists are strong proponents of long-term ecological management and often advocate for significant human intervention to maintain desired environmental conditions, sometimes referred to as geoengineering or climate stabilization efforts.

Critics of Termostabilism often point to its potential for authoritarianism and suppression of individual liberties. They argue that the pursuit of absolute stability could stifle creativity, diversity, and human progress. The practical implementation of their policies is also a subject of debate, with many questioning the feasibility of achieving and maintaining such a rigidly controlled global system. Despite these criticisms, the movement has gained traction among those who feel overwhelmed by the pace of modern change and yearn for a more predictable existence.
