The Bodily Indignities of the Space Life

A New York Times article, that I believe is not behind a paywall, helps to make clear how and why the collective human "genius" driving tech has fucked up the biosphere on boring old earth so badly.

I wonder, is there any chance all this "race to Mars" nonsense is just Musk's Starlink marketing bullshit, or are the geniuses really this stupid.

And it kinda makes me wonder: if the desire to leave the planet is truly becoming this hyperbolic, is the collapse closer than we realize?

And that rare thing, biology, continues to be massively underappreciated.

It's a good article, the author Kim Tingley's tongue in cheek is cleverly hidden, and a ray of hope there is common sense amongst the thickets of dense bio-matter out there.
