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.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
