Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

(91,225 posts)Besides, considering what we've already done to injure and defile our precious Earth, and the wasteful, thoughtless habits we've already built, a city on Mars may not be such a bad idea for the future. What we've already done to our planet is gonna take quite a cleanup, along with some serious reeducation and wiser long-range habit-forming. The "use once/throw away" mentality has got to go the way of the dinosaurs.

Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished.
Most people would still go to work.
Food would still be grown.
Roads would still be built.
Hospitals would still operate.
Now imagine every worker vanished.
That's the difference between wealth and value.

(4,965 posts)... that Bayer, primary producer of neonicitinoid insecticides, that are the biggest killer of honey bees, refuses to terminate production of that deadly product. If it kills honeybees, it's probably not too good for humans, either. But since when has that ever mattered to corporatists?
