Some form of competition is nice to have. For example, it's better to have a parliament than a dictator, because parties will compete with each other to fit people needs (or oligarch needs, if democracy is broken).

In Canada, police forces are compete. For example, municipality can sign contract with one of provincial police force or municipal police force, or create their own police force. This competition creates a positive feeback loop.

Every organisation has 3 major stages: newborn, mature, and old. When competition is present, old organizations are eaten by newborn organizations. Government is monopoly, so no competition, thus old organization must die first.

UML is the virtual thing, so it will be a virtual pole, of course.

Evolved life will come back and may outcompete original life.

Life will optimize itself to fit harsh conditions at Mars, then return back to Earth, and outcompete original life forms.

Mars is for martians! Neptunians - go home!

Can martians colonize Mars?

If, say, 0.01% of millions of rockets, needed to deploy radioactive waste, will blow up in the process, then we will have much bigger problem.

So, you say, coal waste can be source of uranium for nuclear plants, right? How many tonnes of Uranium we can extract from coal ashes?

We will know that after cooling of nuclear waste to background level only, which will not happen soon.

Chornobyl alone put more radioactive isotopes into air than all coal plants combined. Don't know about ground and water.
