I found the original article from Libertarianism.org

Global economy doubles in product every 15-20 years. Computer performance at a constant price doubles nowadays every 4 years on average. Livestock-as-food will globally stop being a thing by ~2050 (precision fermentation and more). Human stupidity, pride and depravity are the biggest problems of our world.

Cambridge college returns 18th Century Aboriginal spears
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-c ... e-688751584 hours ago
Four spears taken from an Aboriginal community by James Cook and Joseph Banks during their first contact with Australia are being repatriated.
They will be handed over at a ceremony at Trinity College, Cambridge, to representatives from the La Perouse and Gweagal Aboriginal communities.
Ray Ingrey, Gujaga Foundation director, said their return to "the rightful people" was a "momentous occasion".
The spears were taken in 1770 and given to Trinity College the following year.
Direct descendants of the Gweagal people who crafted the spears more than 250 years ago will be present at the ceremony in Trinity's Wren Library.
