Reply to comment by stonebraker13 in Podcast: the search for extraterrestrial intelligent life is now looking for "technosignatures" like pollution by asbruckman

Many people could do better for sure, but I don't fault people as a species and presume us all stupid. I fault them and decide if they're stupid individually. Still, I think there are enough good people that it's not hopeless. It is not easy, and it will take time. In the end all we have is hope.

I have hope, but again and here is more ugly truth, people do not act unless there is a threat. Now, interesting enough it seems that we only act to make change when profits are at threat, not health and safety....look at Flint, Michigan and what happened there....and it will likely happen again because there have been little to no consequences for these GOP politicians who CONSCIOUSLY CHOSE TO POISON CHILDREN....and people still can't drink water there.
