is "nature" really worth conserving? i get it's pretty and all and we kinda need it for the time being but this whole bio conservation effort thing seems like the wrong approach to me. for one thing we could develop artificial ways of producing oxygen and food that would free us from the whims of the environment. then the whole what about that revolutionary drug somewhere in the amazon that may or may not even be there argument it seems like an idiotic approach too since drugs can be designed from the ground up. and saving the fucking whales? who fucking cares? evolution is just some crap shoot anyway, whatever permutation and combination of snps, it isn't fucking speshul.

artifice > nature
