thanks for those points. "impending ecological doom is an issue" - best case a rounding statistical error - that will pass, no big woop. - Worst case. jokes on us. yes some serious culling is needed but on both sides of the spectrum. We must be very careful how our tiny scientific community applies itself these days too. I just watched the video, Tyson makes some nice points. I agree that we should invest in dreaming about tomorrow... but i feel that tomorrow's science and today's scientific neurons should be applied more pragmatically. ( perhaps since ive just become a dad..our PRESENT reality just got way way bigger) I'd rather hear 2-yrs from now about a new unlimited energy source with 0 emissions than us landing on Jupiter's moon.
