    I’ve been aware since the mid 90s i would likely get to witness the fall of the human race. What an exciting time to live in. Terrible, but exciting.

    I can live cause I’m rich and can afford a compound though :) No I don’t wonder about where all the things I use that have massive production chains come from, why do you ask?

        Most scientists make terrible leaders and communicators though. It would be sufficient if politicians followed science reports made by the scientists. But instead they follow the money and whatever gets them reelected.
