I hope that if we have ~10k people go there and die horrible deaths from starvation or live Instagramified horrifyingly bleak lives, then perhaps people on earth will start to feel trapped on this earth and to start to respect it more. My wife and I go every year to a film festival called "One World" in Prague. Once, we went to a film called "The War Show"[1]. A shaky cellphone shot documentary about Syria's civil war, in which the real camera-woman dies. I always was glad I lived in stable democracies with human rights. But before I watched that film, I didn't have real respect for the fragility and preciousness of democratic institutions. But now I do. I cried for hours after watching that film.
I want everyone to have an experience like that, with regards to our precious earth and nature, before it is too late.
