Forgive my, bluntness, but statements like "optimal measure of biodiversity" are perhaps part of the problem. What the does that even mean? So where advanced technology can mitigate the effects of previously miraculous advanced technology, say micro-plastics, 'forever chemicals', pesticide residues? I am enjoying my comfort from technology, to include the glasses that allow me to "read", and post on Hacker News, but the negative externalities both to myself, and others, .. are substantial.
