Replying to an earlier post

That is a nonsense statement. The vast majority of stars are already erased for the vast majority of humans. 57% live in cities, 80% live in urban areas. You’re lucky is you can see constellations in many cities, let alone the dimmer stars.

I’m not saying this isnt a problem, but this is possibly the worst framing of it that you can give.
