I do tire of explaining to vegans that differences in soil quality mean that crops fit for human consumption cannot be grown everywhere and that making the best use of the land available often involves turning it into food via an intermediary

making the best use of the land

This is probably where we disagree

There are a lot of uses for land that can’t grow food crops. It could be renaturalized for example.

Hemp needs to be used for a lot more things since it is a very versatile plant… I can’t imagine living in Louisiana with the horrible ethane cracker plants.

Sun worship is considered the most primitive of religions, and yet that’s where everything comes from. Everything. From food to heat to energy. Even fossil fuels is captured sunlight from the past, and radioactive material for nuclear power is from ancient supernovae. Everything. All praise the Sun!

The sun is also a child of those earlier giant stars. We are several generations down the line (hence why so many elements can be found on Earth).

The sun is more of a very large sibling than a parent.

Correct. Which is a supporting argument that life and intelligence might be a new thing in the universe, that it took a few billion years to just get through a few cycles of birth and death of stars to create the heavier elements needed. We could be one of the first examples.

Doesn’t rule out the Great Filter as still a thing, new life that expands too quickly and uses up resources can still kill itself in the process.
