[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 75680715, member: 274355"] Having enlightened thoughts like that means you're part of a civilisation. If you're not, you're often too busy just trying to survive the latest shift in the climate, migration patterns of animals, or whatever. Sure, some say the Australian Aboriginals in certain more abundant areas only worked 4 hours a day for food and had abundant time for family and friends. But on the other hand, we are close to getting a space industry and being able to build O'Neil Cylinders 8km wide and 32km long. Imagine an artificial ocean in space. Imagine being able to save the whales by having them in space or on a terraformed Mars! Now that's conservation - and all the benefits of modern medicine and agriculture and fine whiskies and fun shows like Star Wars and me being able to have this interesting conversation with you even though I'm thousands of km's away - that all makes civilisation seem worth it to me! And the ultimate point of this thread is that even if we lost almost everything in an all out nuclear apocalypse, it wouldn't take long to build up again. We've learned things, and would have buried libraries that help us learn them again. It wouldn't take long. [/QUOTE]
