Denying Problems When We Don’t Like the Solutions (perhaps somewhat off-topic)

34. Turning the earth's biosphere into a pulsating blob of human protoplasm...

... or a Borg-like species is not my idea of utopia.

Fusion powered ocean container ships, and later space ships, these are my nightmare scenario.

I'd rather live in a world where the human population was voluntarily declining, people were generally happy and very well educated, and I'd often see a California Condor soaring overhead as I walked to the neighborhood pub.

Let us leave to posterity a mostly undamaged rich earth-nest to the bears, dogs, cats, marine mammals, squid, fungi, social trees... who knows?

The descendants of a successful intelligent species create their own universe, moving beyond this one.

Less sophisticated intelligent species die of a fusion or antimatter powered drug overdose in Mother Nature's basement and nobody mourns their passing, especially not Mother Nature.

At this stage of our development we humans would not be mourned.
