On the other hand, we have efficiently terraformed the hell out of Earth to increase shareholder profit.
Of course long term habitability might suffer but hey, thats a problem for the next generation.
- chrisco255 6y agoPersonally, I think I enjoy greater habitability than my ancestors of 150 or 1500 years ago did.
- majormajor 6y agoDo you enjoy greater habitability or do you use technology to compensate for habitability? Using air and water filters to offset for pollution we've added to the natural environment, for instance.
- rishav_sharan 6y agoWe all do. Our grandchildren likely wouldn't enjoy their level of habitability much though.
- nickik 6y agoIt always blows my mind when people say nonsense like this. > On the other hand, we have efficiently terraformed the hell out of Earth to increase shareholder profit. No actually we have terraformed earth so people could live comfortably, have heating in their home and ability to move around and many, many other things. And this continues because people in China, India and Indonesia and others would like to have these things too. Unter a socialist government (assuming it would be able to consistently grow) where 'sharehoolder profit' don't matter you would equally have polluted the and terraformed the earth. Casting this as some 'greedy elites' abusing the 'good people' is a fundamental misunderstand of the situation.
