The universe is effectively infinite btw. Most people quite like potatoes and if there's a larger population more people can be musicians. The bloody minded bean counter mentality is more religion than anything.
- tzs 4y ago> The universe is effectively infinite btw But we are limited to the part of the universe that we can access. We've got a single planet we can easily access. We've got a few more planets we can reasonably access with reasonably foreseeable improvements to our technology. Past that, unless there are some major fundamental physics breakthroughs, we've got no even remotely plausible way to make use of any resource outside the solar system in any volume that makes a noticeable difference.

- pessimizer 4y agoFailure to constrain our imagination to our available resources.
- nuc1e0n 4y agoI'd say 'constrain' is the wrong word to use here. 'tailor' may be better.

- nuc1e0n 4y agoUmm. Ok. how about... CRISPR edited potatoes that have been made to taste like apricots? ;P
