What people may wish for and what needs to be done seem, to me, to be completely different things. Take Germans and their nuclear power plants. Despite the plants in Japan failing because of conjunction of shoddy construction, earthquake an

Same is true for humanity. Technology marching on is dooming us to becoming obsolete. Already there are people who are effectively unemployable. Once this is extended to the majority.. it won't be pretty. Life of leisure has driven eve

Wow. I looked it up, those look very much like the edible m.procera commonly eaten and fried in Europe. I gather mushrooms have a much harder time colonizing new areas than say, insects. Hopefully.

Ok, I looked it up. Calvatia Gigantea tasting like chicken? I've eaten some we found in the wild. Not bad, but it's definitely not meat. Most people* pick and eat mushrooms where I live, but I've yet to hear anyone say any mu

Even if it was price-competitive, what's the point? Do people really need to eat that much? And they'd have to get their calories elsewhere anyway.

There'll be no 'space race', at least, outside of government propaganda stunts such as Apollo programme, or the new Russian moon mission. There is nothing in space which can't be had more cheaply on Earth. Except freedom

Offal not only was, but is cheaper than skeletal meat. Hearts, for example, are good meat. You can get them for 1$ per pound. Tastes very similar to normal muscle, but it's darker. Which is why they're always sold out after 11 am

Nothing in life is a choice. Free will is a social construct, or more precisely a moral one. Poor people exist because of bad luck, whether in managing their money or the genetic lottery. I'm all for abolishing both of these things. A
