To seek to fix the world by applying the same technological ideologies that fucked it up in the first place is a fool’s errand.
If synthetic fertilizer destroyed our topsoil’s humus, let us engineer a world that can survive without topsoil. If deforestation decimated rainfall in the tropics, let us engineer a planet that can survive with arid tropics. If our political culture destroyed democracy, let us engineer a world that can survive without democracy.
No. Do you see?
