It's funny, we used to lament about being born too soon for space exploration and too late for The Frontier. No, we've been born into The Accelerationism period....I will see in the twilight of my life either a technological Utopia or not.

I really hope I do... Because things are looking quite precarious with the climate and stuff. I'm 30 so I hope to make it out alive and see the other side of all of this.

What should concern you is the reason they HAVE to do this. They killed off all their pollinators. Like ALL of them. They have been manually pollinating their crops for years now. This is where we are headed if Trump and Co have their way.

It's controlled cross breeding. There are no natural pollinators that will give you a result you can trust. This has been a manual human job before.
