Don’t you know true freedom is the freedom to poison the atmosphere with free CO2? And put free microplastics into every environment on earth? If I’m not free to pollute anything and everything I might as well be in Nazi Germany

I agree with your conclusion that revolution on earth before space colonisation would be the best end result. Although at the pace of space investment and revolution that doesn’t seem most likely. I also agree a Martian revolution would be more likely in that most of the people on Mars would be working class for a decent amount of time. I think it would just necessitate the Martian colony to be pretty self-sufficient before revolution as an embargo would be almost guaranteed

Society has benefited immensely from specialisation. It makes no sense to throw all of that by the wayside for some weird concept of self sufficiency. Society should just not be built to benefit the elites. It’s just physically impossible for an individual to create any innovation today without so many others helping
That thread is the first I’ve seen that looks at this as a conflict in a larger NATO Russia war, rather than purely Russia Ukraine. Good perspective shift
