Elon Musk says he wants to create a backup on Mars to "preserve the light of consciousness" and save civilization. Deleting a seed bank with 600,000 of varieties of seeds collected over a century seems at odds with his goal. Can someone please explain?
- foxyv 1y agoAs a species we have thousands of sayings, phrases, and bits of wisdom about saving seeds. I would have to speculate that drug use or psychosis is the only explanation for why you would end such a program. We are literally going to be eating our seed corn.
