This is all speculative. You hope everything will get recycled and you hope that people in the future will find a way to use what's in landfills. I hold the opposing view. Most of what is produced today is not recyclable and I have no faith in people to find ways to empty landfills.
- sethherr 2y agoNot only is it speculative, it seems internally inconsistent. Somehow future people will figure out how to reuse stuff, but we can’t currently be bothered. I believe in progress! So we should experiment and figure out how we can improve the current situation.

- BadHumans 2y agoWe didn't invent oil and could've left it in the ground. This is a man made problem that is only going to get worse.
