Robots will save humans, fauna and flora alike.
Nature will not be saved by leaving it alone. It will be saved by mass surveillance from embedded artificial life.
Conservation needs companies. I call that coexistence.
Rainmaker, Colossal and Basecamp are what coexistence institutions should look like.
Coral Gardeners and The Ocean Cleanup are rare flashes of brilliance in nonprofit.
SpaceX and Tesla have done more net good for the planet than WWF.
Terraform Industries and Pioneer Labs are great examples of space technology driving coexistence benefits.
There is so much land. And so much is badly allocated.
Humans have never been good at sharing. So we need distinct places to consume and distinct places to retreat into a spiritual idea of how life used to be lived. Rousseau’s Noble Savage is a great idea for that. Cloud seeding and de-extinction among others let us place these ecosystems deliberately anywhere.
Humans should expand slowly. Machines should expand fast.
Mining and extraction belong to machines and they should be sent off-world first. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a great idea.
Mountains are the cheapest Moon.
Companies spend millions qualifying hardware for space. Cold, altitude, isolation and a camp-to-camp chain can retire that risk first.
