      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.

      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.
