Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

I think that when robots become autonomous, they can be used to promote healthier ecosystems. Forestry robots can plant new generations of flora, using GPS to identify rain patterns alongside soil erosion records, then plant the right types of things for a given location to improve the ecosystem's success.
I think that going "future solutions will fix this problem, don't think about it now" like you are is a huge part of the problem.
Don't think big picture, do actions, now.
It has to be both IMHO. We need to stop the bleeding, and also plan to heal. Re-introducing beavers by airdrop was once a futuristic solution too.
Oh you're certainly right, but "I think once the future happens" is just silly, it's the same logic religious nuts have of "once the rapture happens" it breeds inaction and stagnation.
