This led to me reading a long discussion about the Fermi Paradox and how a handful hypothesize that the invention of plastic is the Great Filter - whenever a species invents plastic it either goes extinct or becomes too dependent on plastic to explore space.

Basically we're all gonna die thanks goodbye
Read it. I wonder if micro-plastics could have the same affect on certain marine life as Diatomaceous Earth have on roaches. Where it clogs their digestive systems and kills them dead. In a million years they will be mining plastic nodules on the bottom the ocean. I wouldn't be surpise if a micro-organism will evolve to digest micro-plastic and they would evolve into semi-organic/semi-plastic creatures and given a million years they would keep on evolving into plastic humanoids like Japanese androids but it wouldn't be created by nerdy Japanese scientist but created through evolution.
