We’re not running out of fruit, we’re just so fat and lazy from eating all the fruit we’ve already picked that we haven’t even bothered to go after the rest.

- paulryanrogers 3y agoWe live in a closed system, excluding energy from the sun. Our ability to reach outside this planet's system is extremely limited, as no NEO station is independent. The fundamental physical resources needed to launch and land enough material for an independent colony, even on our moon, would strip Earth of the things needed to sustain us here. There may be more fruit out there, but it's on other continents while we live on an island atol with a single tree.
- throwuwu 3y agoWell you heard it here first folks, that’s a wrap. Once you finish your portion of tearing up the roads and knocking down the houses please proceed to the nearest thanatorium and enjoy the last show. Better to go now with dignity than to just wait out the inevitable here.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoIs life not worth living if we must settle for a single-planet experience?
- throwuwu 3y agoLife won’t be around long on a single planet, the frequency with which large scale and mass extinctions occur is quite shocking once you spend some time looking at the data. Not to mention the rapidity with which human civilizations collapse and thanks to our global reach we’re all one big codependent civilization now. The clock is ticking and it’s later than you think.
