In response to this post@iveyline
Well the optimists are hoping for a technical fix - either on planet or off...
The pessimists see crisis & eventual extinction, I guess
@ChrisMayLA6 Not sure that technology is the magic solution. We still need clean air and water, healthy food, somewhere to live, 'time out' and positive relationships. In addition, machines took away physical work. Computers mental work. And now AI is replacing our ability to think and create. So, what is our purpose as human beings?
