These guys are really smart, from a human point of view. But in the complexities of life in earth, they are retarded protozoa. They can’t even come close to predicting or imagining the results of their actions, and I think the trade offs will be much worse than any reward.
Who is liable when they screw up the world? I hope all involved and their families receive righteous.
And by the way...I'm freezing my butt off in Upstate NY...and it's been raining for days...the sun is being blocked...and no one saw the eclipse.
