"The process relies on speeding up a process that happens naturally"

Just because it happens naturally, doesn't mean you can speed it up and everything will be alright. It happens a certain way, at the speed it does, because that's how the system evolved. If we start fucking with planetary stinkin' evolution, as with everything else that we've felt the self described right to fuck with, we'll end up making more problems. I don't know what they'll be, but that's why they're called unintended consequences. They're going to happen no matter what we do, be it live in caves, or transform the planet into a habitat built for a single species that is downloaded onto a supercomputer, but we've gone a certain way up to this point, and now we're having to deal with these consequences of our past actions. Is it really the right way to go to find some massively complex way to not have to pay the bill again? After you start running out on checks every time you eat, eventually you'll have to waste far more energy trying to get around whatever security has been set up to catch you than the meal is worth. There are no more restaurants. We've been to every one of them, at least once. We put on a fake mustache, plastic glasses with the big nose, maybe even a hat every now and then, but next we'll have to get a haircut and gain weight. Then lose the weight, grow the hair back, but give ourselves a bald spot. Then we have to grow an extra foot in height, grow an extra foot period, just so we can get some type of discount(which we won't pay for anyway). Then we have to cut the new foot off(both height and actual foot), have a sex change, learn a new language, and then have a blue crayon with us for some reason. It just gets crazier after that.
