Apparently endless growth is a good thing. How the planet is supposed to continue to provide and survive a continuous expansion of Homo sapiens is beyond me. The only way out is to decrease population growth and refactor the world economy away from endless growth.

What you say is true though my point is that to many bean counters, research should only be done on something that addresses the current bottom line. It’s this type of view that conservatives take to heart and it’s why they tend to try to stifle higher education and research institutions.
This is really to the point: "That's a little bit like telling someone who's got a large drinking habit or smoking habit, 'you need to quit that as soon as possible.'". We know we have the life threatening habit but can’t stop the addiction!
There are republicans that are making notes for the future.
Conservatives just have no idea how research is done and think they can tell people what to research. The absurdity is that no scientific be can tell someone to research something that hasn’t been discovered yet!
It’s law and order with a bit of “thou shall not steal”. There’re people who never question the root cause.
Totally agree about WhatsApp as I no longer use it due FB shenanigans. A lot of people do though which is interesting as it so easy to move.
Using things like Signal and WhatsApp may reduce your footprint further.
I’ve used wifi calling from hotel rooms overseas as well as locations where mobile coverage is poor and it works fine. I suspect (not know) that the voice network provider knows pretty much where your location is though.
Maybe the US is about to charge him with treason and nationalise SpaceX.
