Mm. Good points.

I do, somewhat, have that perspective when it comes to energy on the planet.
But I don't see humanity consuming all of it, and that being the negative impact,
I see humanity pulling it out of places where it needs to be in order to sustain life in certain places.
I sense there is a connection to everything on the planet, but I don't have conscious knowledge of how it's all connected.
Take energy from a volcano and maybe you kill the coral reef.
Take energy from hurricanes and maybe you take out 90% of the butterflies. Who knows...until we mess it up.

It's this whole pursuit of more energy to sustain an opulent lifestyle that is the problem, the unbalancing factor to ecological stability.
Where will A.I. fit into that equation, truly?
