    The point is you aren’t going to stop an asteroid if you’re living in a tribe in the jungle.

      Sure, but my point is that capitalism may as well be George of the jungle with everything it does to trade our future for revenue growth.

      That’s a dumb point. Might as well do nothing and continue to ravage the planet because there will be a meteorite somewhere in the next millions year.
