> Humans thrive with technology and the earth ceases to be our parent, providing for us. What leads you to believe this? I often see similar sentiments on this website. I don't understand it. Maybe I'm missing something. High technology is fragile. As far as I can tell, it's nowhere close to self-sufficient. It's the pinnacle of a massive edifice whose foundation is biology: in particular non-human life. Kick that out and the whole thing collapses. > And if we don't make it... multicellular life will continue to flourish and evolve. This does seem reasonably likely. Life is resilient. Human life and human engineering, not so much.
