Haven’t we? I guess it could always be more stable. Where is the line for you? Is there any point where you’d consider this problem solved?
Besides, if things feel unstable to you, why would that be an argument against attempting to set up a secondary living environment on another planet?
If we had stability issues in our primary datacenter, would this be a reason not to create an offsite backup?

We have yet to come to terms with how the Industrial Revolution has changed and is changing the Earth's environment. > If we had stability issues in our primary datacenter, would this be a reason not to create an offsite backup? Does it make any sense to put an offsite backup in a place that is vastly less stable than your primary datacenter? And what if your primary datacenter issues are caused by mismanagement and carelessness?
- palata 4y agoI think that what happened since the industrial revolution is pretty much a definition of unstable. We are living a mass extinction right now (not even caused by global warming, which will just make it worse). Since the industrial revolution, we have become excellent as destroying life. Not the opposite.
