It's the Achilles heel blind spot of all these big tech-centric projects. We will remain undisputed masters of all we survey, particularly because we now have iPhones. Oh really? If anything, over-dependence on technology would exacerbate the blind spot, seen in the religious thinking around tech, and lead to humans becoming less adept at survival in the wilds of space than other terran species they bring with them.

I knew it! That's what plants have been patiently waiting for all along. They're waiting till we bring them into space before they exact their revenge!<br /><br />Ah well, that's karma, baby.<br /><br />PS Great post!<br /><br /><br />Dia Sobin (Araqinta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03398194511342193439noreply@blogger.com
