Sickness, obesity, addiction, prison sentences as business model. Often legal and profitable stuff outsources harm to nature, future generations, vulnerable communities.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/VNtB9pI.png)\n\n_(All of the suffering of victims, families, communities, public safety has a cost, massive negative value that is not accounted for. This problem is applicable to climate as well as many other industries too.)_\n\nWe need to account for the full cost of the product, including negative externalities. By doing this, we can accomplish following goals:\n\n1. Penalise those who do harm\n\n2. Reward those who do good *(but are not rewarded in the current system)*\n\nEconomic incentives matter, incentives are the driving force of the universe.\n\n# How big is your why?\n\nClimate change:\n* Tipping points\n* Feedback loops\n* Non-linear changes\n* Noone in charge, noone has a clue, obsolete climate models, uncharted waters\n* Metacrisis, polycrysis, everything crisis\n\nConclusion: We need to have a backup civilization on Mars, before we go extinct on Earth.\n\nBut that presents a dilemma:\n* Work on climate change on Earth, slow down the collapse, get us more time to go to Mars\n* Focus on Mars directly, surely in the process we will discover some new tech that will make life on Earth more user-friendly\n\nSo do you work on climate change or on backup civilization? What if you could have both? BaseX, the universal evaluation engine, is a project that is practical to solve climate change and at the same time will be useful with the backup civilization on Mars. You can also trace origin of the name:\n\n* **SpaceX**: making life multiplanetary\n* **BaseX**: making life multiplanetary, starting from the Earth\n\nFuture of human civilisation is on the line and we treat this project very seriously.\n\n# Current status: \n\nBreaking changes to the infra: [read latest on the blog](https://mirror.xyz/0x81e64EFA58bf79F1649F267E16451Fbf836071f6/P3B_cRgtHaAY9w3LsTPozrsUkQa51tUHRlmxjF5sdao).\n\nGoerli Testnet down, our essential piece of infrastructure *(Kleros jurors)* is not available. We appreciate this setback as an opportunity to rethink our architectural choices, taking one step back to take 10 steps forward, Kleros was super problematic to integrate. See this [post of forum](https://forum.kleros.io/t/the-simplest-evidence-standard-superseding-eip1497/954) and [EIP discussion](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/1497).\n\nSeriously considering \"Web of Trust\": [gitcoin gov post by Owocki](https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/the-impact-web-of-trust-could-change-everything/17635), [youtube presentation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc1whvHuR9I)  from ETH Denver.
