Oh yeah, that's gone...

Unless, Dust IS parts of the Moon and... Like, it's a living thing, and the Moon was a living thing before it shatered and the parts that hit Remnant gave it life.

And Dust is like the Aura of the planet, and so, when WoR says humans have no idea of the consequences of the use of Dust on the planet, it means humans are literally ripping off the planet's soul.

Like, the 1st ep of V1 says:

"Man, born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful, but he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness — creatures of destruction — the creatures of Grimm - set their sights on man and all of his creations. These forces clashed, and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void.

However, even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change, and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness, and ingenuity led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named "Dust".

Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life."

What if the "dust" man came from were the shatered pieces of the Moon and the "Dust" they later named after it were the same thing.

Like, the Moon held life but while the Planet was a sterile rock (think like we think there might be life in Europe but not on Jupiter). The Moon blew up and it transferred life to Remnant.

"Legends. Stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily that we are remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past."

There is an old theory that the Grimm are actually weapons that got out of control from a civilization previous to the Kingdoms.

But what if all of Remnant was a construct, like the Death Star; or Remnant was a planet over which a giant military base was built like the Starkiller Base and where the Grimm were manufactured among other stuff, whilst the Moon was where people lived.

Something went wrong, the Moon blew up, it transferred life to the planet, but the appearance of intelligent life awoke the Grimm and then the people found the Dust and the Kingdoms appeared.
