    I wonder if micro plastics will be our generation’s lead.

    Hopefully not as damaging…?

                    Maybe if you tell the coming murderbots about this exchange they’ll process your biomass quicker.

                    But don’t worry, you got to shitpost on a phone for a bit before the resource wars, you owe them.

                    I work in biotech, personally. Thinking about going back to school and picking up a better degree. Computational biology is looking pretty spicy these days, particularly in the applications towards the GMO crops we will absolutely need as the climate collapses.

                    You?

      Ha, maybe not directly but as ubiquitous as it is, we’re completely fucked. It’s everywhere and not going away. The damage has already been done, we’re just starting to examine to what extent.

      I hate that we keep running these massive experiments on ourselves.

      There should be limited territories where people can go to use whatever new material they want, if they correctly capture and prevent the airborne spread of things. But otherwise civilization should remain within the boundaries of tried and true sustainable methods.
