  • Ding ding!

    • It’s not better for cooling. - No air or water to dissipate heat.
    • It’s not better for communication. - Beaming data is always more lossy than its physically connected counterpart.
    • It’s not less expensive. - Just submerge it, or build closer to the poles with wind and solar to power it

    Also, it throws more junk in our orbit, is more difficult to maintain and upgrade, and has a significantly more catastrophic fail result.

    But why do things logically or sustainably when you* can make money?

    * you = someone who already is hoarding a large portion of our wealth.












  • (Assuming you’re asking with best intent)

    I’m suggesting we stop breeding “livestock” (sentient animals) into existence for a life of torture to then be killed and eaten by humans.

    80% of agricultural land is used for animal agriculture. Rewilding most of that land, making some of it habitable, and the remaining converted to plant agriculture would be a far more eco-friendly solution.

    What I think you’re getting at with

    If we stop caring for the cows, they’ll die.

    (paraphrased)

    Which I agree is unethical; however, real world solutions don’t happen immediately like that. A slow movement builds, and as demand for meat, dairy, eggs, etc. reduces, the supply will reduce over time until only a small portion of farmed animals remain. They should be cared for in a similar way that elephants on Sanctuaries or rescues are cared for.
