Why listen to one of the most effective humans who has ever lived, when you could listen to the U.N., one of the most pointless organizations in human history?

- wayvey 4y agoWhat makes you think we could sustainably take care of planet B even if it was a viable option? Not to mention how optimal the living conditions have been on earth until we fucked up.
- chitowneats 4y agoI'm not expressing any opinion one way or the other about the topic. Just laughing at the idea that the U.N. has any credibility whatsoever. Also laughing at the Musk hate. It's very in vogue right now with the leftist busybodies.

- chitowneats 4y agoPretty sure the electric car company founder understands that.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoTeraforming a planet is part of the skillset needed to fund (well, more like acquire) an EV company?
- chitowneats 4y agoWhere did I say he had the skills to pull off terraforming? I said that he understands that there's no point in terraforming other planets without clean energy and transportation.
