Meteorology isn't a science. We have this idea that we will understand the weather here better. We will have more processing capacity. This idea that societies would try to control the weather. These whispers of a future in stages.
The more I learn of our world the more I wonder if we have not abandoned the call of the wild. A nasty super predator. Your typical hunt in nature fails. Your typical hunt targets the easy. Ours never fail and we target the hard.
We seem to be in a clumsy phase with this nature that seems so unnatural. Why did the super predator take to space travel? There seems a road forward with this nature. Why would we control the weather on Earth?
The super rich seem to already know and are headed off planet. If we could leave our home to that natural balance we know can be so much more productive. Let's go pollute Venus. Dig new homes in Mars. Chart the seas of Europa and IO. Ski Pluto. Target the hard. Our hunts always succeed. We should do it together.
Leave our Earth to those species that dream of the easy. We won't need automation there. Those regular old predators will create abundance we only have evidence of in the past. Imagine the ecological value a Earth with a limited amount of human tourists.
There are many solar systems and planets. In a sense the universe still revolving around Earth; the best place we know. Long term vision doesn't solve many problems today. I feel better. A super predator on one planet is confounding. A solar system super predator would be something to see. About productivity. About time.
