We have to be …
Honest in using science, too.
The math, so science tells too, our growth as humans in numbers, is an issue for the resources, this planet can provide.
Not a free pass for dictators and “democratic” governments to start the cleaning / killing.
But turning away and dream of better times to come isn’t an option either. The only real solution is to facing it together and make decisions to bring balance to our growth, too.
We should not forget we have to share this planet with all its diversification of the species (animals, plants), because the planet’s ecosystem needs them and so do we.
Doesn’t mean to divide humanity even more, but give the time, that technology can help to solve the biggest problem we face, I think.
To bring balance between us, without killing each other first.
Yes, this can also include than space travel and colonization, but hopefully in a smart way not to repeat the mistakes we already made on this planet, so I hope.
