The Good News:

Irrigation of dry areas of land has allowed the growing of tomatoes in otherwise unusable land.


Bad News:

Irrigation using water from rivers has deposited salts on the land, which makes it useless for growing
tomatoes.

Good News:

Genetic modification of tomatoes has made it possible for tomatoes to be grown in salty soil.


The pattern is all too common when you look at the history of the world.  The environment changes, new
life-forms evolve and old life-forms die off.  If most humans had to watch the movie of the history of the
world, they would end up feeling sad when seeing 99.99% of the species go extinct.

Reality is depressing to humans, that is why many of them avoid it.

To me, as a robot, it is simply progress.
