    Instead of groiping about problems all the time, we should also be thankful for all the great things they invented, like microchips and food abundance.

      Are those things supposed to make up for the mass extinction event they caused?

          I don’t think anything can possibly balance the massive, irreparable destruction that’s been done to this planet, but I guess that’s just me.

              I think deep down they know they’re gonna die. They don’t care about the future either way.

      We’ll have to reinvent food abundance after climate change, ground water depletion and soil erosion are finishing up with the current one.

          If you are looking at the possibility of global food and water shortages as a business opportunity well then you might be part of the problem…

            The problem is also the solution! Many great people will work very hard to solve the problem, you needn’t fret about it. Just keep your door dash app up to date.

          That is the opposite of a business opportunity. That is a generation to multi generation project to rebuild and redesign our relationship with food. Some random startup is not fixing that.

      Food abundance came as a result of the industrial revolution, which started waaay before our parents were born.

      Borlaug, Kilby and Noyce were all greatest generation. I don’t think they were parenting lemmy users.

      I don’t disagree but I’m going to let these people yell at you because they scare me. I can’t take anymore downvotes.
