      Not everyone can work specifically on the one thing you find most pressing. Some people are hairdressers, some people work in a supermarket, some people are learning about genetics, some people are actors.

      The platform you’re posting on isn’t essential for saving the planet, should it still exist? The servers it uses create pollution.

      I don’t know, bringing back some of the species that this burning caused to go extinct - instead of the celebs mentioned in the article - would be nice.

      To be fair, I think research on mammoth cloning started a good while ago and, if scientific research is anything like a start-up (spitballing here, I have no clue), doing a massive reorientation mid-process ends up costing more in the long term. At this point, it’d be easier to just finish figuring stuff out with mammoths then adjusting and applying the process on other entities/purposes.

      Still MFW we’re cloning woolly mammoths on a boiling planet. Lol. Lmao, even.

      I choose to use my individual agency to focus on mammoth cloning and not climate change. Are you going to arrest me and force me to do the science you want?
