   A giant farm owned by Saudi Arabia uses billions of gallons of groundwater in water-scarce Arizona "each year to irrigate the desert to grow hay, which it then ships back to the Middle East to feed dairy cows."

   How on earth would you explain humans to aliens? We don't make sense. We have become so overwhelmed by greed. And its everywhere, particularly in Big Tech, AI, bitcoin. Collapse is coming.

     @gerrymcgovern You wouldn’t have to: any aliens advanced enough to reach here would likely sterilise the planet of us before landing. Unless they were carnivores, of course.

     @aral @gerrymcgovern
     There is already at least one novel with that subject in the plot: "Mecanoscrit del segon origen" by M.Pedrolo.
     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typescript_of_the_Second_Origin

     But also I think was Sagan who said that any civilization with tecnològical skills enough to reach the earth would have destroyed them self before they would get here.
