It’s difficult to put a price on the environment, and some scientists even argue it’s beside the point: that nature has intrinsic value, beyond the services it provides to us.
But in some situations, it helps to try to put it in economic terms: especially when those are the terms the world’s wealthiest are used to dealing in.
You know. That’s terrifying. Entirely possible given our frat party governance of AI and security in this moment.
Mmmmmhm. It’s why I say it’ll happen someday, almost certainly; but I doubt it would be in the way any of us hope for.
