Ideally I’d like there to be enough wilderness for natural ecosystems to flourish, but I’ve made my peace with well-run zoos, staffed by biologists who both care and invest research effort at adequate scale. Amateurs running sentimental zoos of only charismatic megafauna, no.

My dream: Nuclear reactor process heat --> Haber-Bosch-esque syn-sugar production --> bioreactors making feedstocks/raw materials --> Matrix-like vertical farms using feedstocks + electric light --> processing --> all of our food sans animal sources, also no sun needed :D
