Art Carde posits that, if we really cared about our great great…grandchildren, we would be better off spending our resources building ships to pread us throughout the galaxy.
If environmental stewardship obligates us to be mindful of future generations in making our day-to-day decisions, what should we do? Should we be recycling paper and preventing people from building parking lots to save trees? Or should we acknowledge that the planet will be destroyed sooner or later and try to find ways to build something like Battlestar Galactica so the species will be preserved?
