While we're at it we should also be doing something to prevent asteroid impacts, tsunamis, and rare genetic diseases.

- mikeash 14y agoYes, indeed. I assume you're being sarcastic, which is odd, given that there is a fair bit of effort put in place to search for near-Earth asteroids that could potentially collide with the planet, with an eye toward eventually being able to deflect them, there are a lot of systems put in place to mitigate the effects of tsunamis, and quite a bit of research into rare genetic diseases.
- grandalf 14y agoasteroids: that's military tech in disguise, not humanity-saving foresight. tsunamis: detection only, not prevention. rare diseases: some are rare enough that virtually no substantive research is done.
