What a brave new world. But what happens when the machine stops?
- inglor_cz 2y agoWhat happens if other machines stop? The ones that carry food into megacities or provide drinking waters to millions? We are now very, very far from our hunter-gatherer roots.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoI'm aware of that. That's why I questioned the validity of the idea, because it seems too risky to rely on. Probably unsustainable because the ever faster changes of the 'meteorological machine' will disrupt many other mechanisms, because they are too slow to adapt. The idea of mechanizing/automating/centralizing that stuff is irking me in general. One could argue that the biologisms which evolved us, and we with and through them, are just another, rather imperfect way of doing this, by slow, biologic means. IMO this only leads to transhumanism, which I consider BS, because it will produce shadows/weak simulations of the real thing and philosophical zombies.
