You should probably understand the “science”and not take someone’s word for it. To think that scientists are incorruptible beings would be foolish at best. It’s a good way to get taken advantage of.

No one said they were incorruptible.

While the military in the USA does invest in science it also invests in bombs…. Wish more funding went to science. Like wish we as a species just collectively said,” yep our forefathers were shitheads, let’s drop our grudges and let people exist as they want.” But that’s asking too much of humanity.

Tl;dr: Food scarcity is only getting better and better thanks to smart farming and genetic crop science, medicine has taken massive leaps thanks to breakthroughs in vaccines and genetic science, lab grown meat is closer than ever, and James-Webb telescope is teaching us a bunch about the universe

Yeah, we’ve still got a lil’ bit of time and I’m waiting on the Romanian courts to be like “yeah he’s definitely guilty, 25 years for this asshat”

I would argue conservation is a type of science too. It does require at least some basic understanding of ecology. Also, in our complex world of human activities we have to study how what we do can affect conservation goals and outcomes.

No matter what anyone says, the present is better than the past.

Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all.
