'Scientists make "slightly sweaty" robot finger with living skin
Japanese innovation thought to have potential to "build a new relationship between humans and robots"'

History has shown us that all the great empires have collapsed, we will be no exception to the rule.
- Not quite. History has shown us that all Empires end. 'Collapse' has certain negative connotations that needn't necessarily transpire.Nairn
- This time is more of a mass extinction situation - climate deterioration will move societal collapse and that'll be the end of "modern" humans...grafician
- Humans are the singular-most resilient creatures on this planet larger than an inch. Shit'll hit the fan, our faces will be covered in shit. We'll prevail.Nairn
- rats and cockroaches will prevail..neverscared
- @Nairn there are very few people fit to handle all the coming changes. We became practically a "mall society" nowgrafician
- Rome still exists... I've been there!BK

- We're likely the only shot at spreading Gaia beyond Earth, so we shouldn't be so quick to shit on ourselves. Not that we don't deserve it, of course.Nairn
- @Nairn You've watched too much SF, space is baren and very hostile to anything "life" so our chances are very slim to almost none...grafician
- And the fact we destroy this place over some "stories" we tell ourselves like capitalism, money, power, etc. it's stunning the arrogance & stupidity we displaygrafician
- More that once upon a time I took a fair amount of psychedelics and traversed the universe, so know our plight is greyer than pure black negativity allows.Nairn
- Perhaps we're the only high level life within a useful volume of spacetime. If so, we have every right to be arrogant. There is no God, we can do no wrong.Nairn
- If you have a sister - go fuck her. Bonobos do. Ants and Elephants lay waste to their environs, in their own way. Are they wrong? There is no absolute morality.Nairn
- If you hate yourself so much, do something about it. If you hate everyone else so much, do something about it. Your mores are on you. Do what you will.Nairn
- It's not negativity - I'm a problem solver - it's basic reality :))grafician
- we are in this situation because basic people don't accept basic reality and continue to do the dumb things over and overgrafician
- Hasn't humanity always thought it's approaching end times? Innate narcissisim, which has been hyped to new levels by surveillance, sorry social, media.MrT
- I mean, there's a difference between bible beaters talking about the end times and actual scientists screaming about empirical data.garbage
- It's not narcissistic to admit that we're causing this.garbage
- Furry muff. I think whether or not it's our fault will be argued forever. Either way we should probably end the frivolous digging up, burning and disposing.MrT

New UN report warns of total societal collapse due to ecosystem destruction without radical changes
hen the United Nations published its 2022 ‘Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction’ (GAR2022) in May, the world’s attention was on its grim verdict that the world was experiencing an accelerating trend of natural disasters and economic crises. But not a single media outlet picked up the biggest issue: the increasing probability of civilisational collapse.

Sixth mass extinction: 23 more species declared extinct
The list includes eleven species of birds, eight species of freshwater mussels, two fish, a bat, and a plant from the mint family.
Twenty-two animals and one plant were formally declared extinct by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The group joins the list of 650 plants and animals in the U.S. thought to be lost to extinction. Scientists warn that these are just some of the many species falling victim to a human-caused mass extinction event.
- 18 new species around the world that have been recently described by scientists in 2021sted
- 8,700,000 species currently on the planet. Tragic as it is, 23 is not 'Mass'.Morning_star
- ^and yet ONE species fucks up the party for the rest of those MILLIONS of other speciesgrafician
- Not quite true, invasive species (Rats, mice etc) are the trigger for up to 60% of recent extinctions. E.g red squirrels vs grey squirrels.Morning_star
- Mint grows pretty easily... probably could have saved that one.BK
- I will not missed that bloody red woodpecker.utopian
- crypto mining brings them back...neverscared
- I wanna hear about the new species.Nairn
- We should put more money into creating new species.
Problem solved.palimpsest - Or get scientists into splitting species in the taxonomy. Like printing money. We decide what a species is anyway.palimpsest
- Give us solutions.palimpsest
- they could just be hiding really well.shapesalad
- 503 new species were described in 2020Morning_star
- That's the spirit!palimpsest
- We should be irradiating wildlife to introduce new variants. Let's speed this shit up a little.Nairn

The Kremlin warned it could blow up 32 GPS satellites with its new anti-satellite technology, ASAT, which it tested Nov. 15 on a retired Soviet Tselina-D satellite, according to numerous news reports.
Russia then claimed on state television that its new ASAT missiles could obliterate NATO satellites and “blind all their missiles, planes and ships, not to mention the ground forces,” said Russian Channel One TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, rendering the West’s GPS-guided missiles useless. “It means that if NATO crosses our red line, it risks losing all 32 of its GPS satellites at once.”
