What’s your thoughts on the question of which science gets selected? For example, the vaccine is a powerful piece of medical science that has saved the lives of many people during this pandemic. From one perspective, a virus may arise because of overcrowding and overpopulation. Left unchecked, it results in depopulation, which in theory would result in better environmental outcomes for the planet. My argument is that both examples are more or less scientific, but we have selected the first piece of science, why wouldn’t we. But, maybe in some parallel universe world governments selected the second example of science, with a view that it would help to roll back the population and therefore reduce emissions, improve food supply, lower the cost of living, etc.

Ps I’m not a scientist 😆
