Lots of people and companies believe they're those people, but so far they've all been proven wrong and tossed to one side.

Reply to comment by Arrrrrr2D2 in Israeli scientists develop drought-resistant tomatoes by TheLieDetectorBro
I agree that proof of nutrition and health must be ensured and verified before rollout. All new technological progress comes with hurdles, I have no disillusion that hydroponics and vitromeat tech has its own obstacles. However, I have faith in humanity's ability to solve those problems. I do not believe we can effectively becomes stewards of the Earth at a food production level without drastic population reduction. Our society & infrastructure is simply not geared to supporting individual made food production to meet the planet's needs. We must further develop and implement hydroponics & vitromeat in order to sustain the bulk of our population's food needs with minimal ecological costs to the planet. It has nothing to do with nature being broken or not, it's merely logistics of having a multi-billion sized population. Big Agra is most definitely broken, but even if that was resolved we still have vast amounts of people to feed and the ecological costs of traditional agriculture cannot be ignored simply because it's the way we've always done it.
We can become more effective stewards of the Earth in a general sense if we can off-load the bulk of our food needs to facilities located in every major city of the world. Traditional agriculture will still exist, most likely in a cultural preservation sense. But swaths of traditional agricultural land could be return to a natural ecological state if we implement hydroponics and vitromeat at scale.

Due to the Ukraine war Germany is opening back up coal plants to prevent power outages, its wishful thinking bordering on fantasy land that the EU can stick to their own time table for transitioning to renewables.

The world has moved on from Viktor. He was to no real value to us. Maybe some hyped victory over USA propaganda for Putin but that’s it. Man was going to die in prison and is no threat to the USA.

Who can't resist the promise of brutal state control, IP theft, and finally being ejected from the Chinese market so the state can spin up a company to use your stolen IP.

No jail time, just fines--whichbwill be suspended if they don't commit any crimes in the next 3 years.
Remember when the Swiss bankers took Nazi gold and then after the war refused to give it back to Jewish victims? Different fascists, different victims, same bloody bankers.

It's one of the only ones they might listen to. If you say "what you're doing is morally wrong", they'll just say "no it isn't, what you're doing is morally wrong."
If you say "what you're doing is impoverishing your nation and hurting everyone you care about", they might actually take some action.
