I don’t pretend to have an opinion and I’m certainly in no position to weigh those arguments. Plus I have no clue how it relates to our lives, perhaps another God like gadget will force it into our lives, thought I doubt it. Which is why I try to be clear about my Earth sciences classification. Gotta be careful clambering up mountains, it’s shocking where a rock kicked loose can end up. > [@coffee](#): > > Of course that won’t actually answer _why_ we exist - only how. > Why is likely to be just an imaginary question with no answer. > [@coffee](#): > > Well, what from that area do you want to discuss that has to do with antimatter? Excuse me. > [@lausten](#): > > How are any of those people you listed relevant to the transportation of anti-matter Well that one was sort of personal. How much money are we spending on that, how much of a life time does our society have ahead of it at its current insane levels of consumption and growth and dreams? What do real human get out of this progress?? Hasn’t anyone noticed we’ve become automatons feeding the machine? We live upon a planet that is entering a radical era of increased harsh weather disruption and we’re playing with all this super tech crap, and never taking about how we people are going to continue to survive the way our society and Earth’s health is going. Excuse me if I’m like a party crasher, like I said, I’m an Earth Centrist and it is time human start recognizing how their self-absorbed thinking (oh golly gotta harness anti-matter yippy, _think of all we can learn_.) and self-serving actions. (war as a profits driver) When are we going to start thinking about using our knowledge toward our survival? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.centerforinquiry.org/t/just-some-anti-matter/11251)._
