  • why do people have this innate ability to underestimate what we might be capable of?

    Because we can see what we’re currently capable of in terms of climate change, and the outlook is pretty bleak

    why do you think its impossible for us to become masters of our own genome?

    Because even in the best case scenario, this is dangerously close to eugenics

    not getting off this rock means our species is doomed regardless of how ‘perfect’ we keep earth.

    If we can’t keep earth livable, an entire self-regulating planet that’s been livable for hundreds of millions or billions of years, what are our chances of keeping anywhere else livable?










  • If that plan worked perfectly, you’d solve the land use and, giving you an extremely generous benefit of the doubt, the emissions from manure problems.

    All you have to now is figure out how to build and maintain these high-rises cost effectively, and how to generate enough power for a matrix-like experience and all the VR headsets and treadmills for the cows. And even then you’d still be wasting a lot of food by feeding it to animals rather than just eating it directly.
