> But the sentiment of "do not touch any resource!" is irrational, and brings more harm than good, to the cause of using the resources we have wisely.

The point is that we should be assessing the impacts before we blindly use it and then later figure out "oh, this is bad". It's fucking 2019. We need to evolve as a species, not keep making the same stupid mistakes over and over. We're garbage creating garbage. How about we make a measured analysis first before running in and wrecking everything? And why am I being downvoted for not wanting to turn our world into shit?

In any case, fuck all of you who think it's okay to ruin our environment just because.
