Slow suicide. Or fast. It's just which method we choose.

Scientists have a new way to reshape nature, but none can predict the cost

As creative souls who are driven (through ego, desire for reward, etc) to 'make' things, it seems we have reached a rather tricky point in our race's 'development'.

The planet can no longer absorb all of us and what we do to pollute it.

Hence there are some big questions to ask, though I don't see many in a position to do anything about them even going near.

From climate change to health issues to food production, technology assuredly can buy us more time by squeezing gallons out of pint pots.

But unless we accept that there is a finite limit to which we are inexorably heading, I'd suggest most I read about and see debated with great passion here is soon going to be academic.

I'd just like to see a few priorities rearranged is all.
