"IT’S past time to tell the truth about the state of the world’s #CoralReefs, the nurseries of tropical coastal #fish stocks.

@HistoPol @Seruko @raymondpert Muskian/techbro longtermism and the whole mtiplanetaru species thing is so utterly. Utterly toxic I don't even know where to begin. I just wish we could give those people their dream and make one last rocket to yeet them all into the cold, dead void of space.
