Exactly, people like to cherry pick. Do we need facebook, do we need instagram? Do we need on-demand always available 4k streaming?

The singularity argument makes more sense than the environmental one.

Short of all of us living like the amish, we're hypocrites for pointing out one "waste" over another.

There is no probabilistic way to determine if the singularity will be a positive or negative for humanity. Climate change is a net negative for humanity.

Regardless it’s clear what course we are on.
