The sheer bulk of unknown unknowns in environmental tech
Is why I would bet that lots of people will die while we're getting the hang of it.
You may be right that humanity’s destiny is in the far reaches of the solar system, but it could go many other ways. Maybe we’ll die in the dirt
Tell you what: If we all end up dead, I'll buy you drinks! But if I'm not wrong, you can owe me my net worth, rounded down to the nearest billion.
All of which is to say, please stop passing off something that is less than a hunch as an argument
Call it what you like. I call it a conviction.
Claiming to know what will happen in 50 years is a joke, in 100 years delusion, and in 1000 years religion.
Don't sweat it. I'm not about to judge you morally and strap you to a tree over it.
There are so many branches and twists and turns, both positive and negative and just plain unforeseen that futurism is crap.
How about, "Science Fiction?"
