I have nothing against the idea of terraforming Mars, I just don’t think terraforming is going to save us from ourselves.

Like I said I just don’t believe we’ll ever get to that point – because we’ll fuck things up on the only currently livable planet so badly that I doubt mass-scale industrial society will survive long enough for terraforming Mars to become relevant.

If things ever work out on mars, it will be because its a hyper isolated, filtered microsociety that has nothing to do with “humanity” as we know it.

Right, because “humanity” has nothing to do with hyper isolated, filtered microsocieties.

Well they are trying it here too of course, but obviously it will be easier when there is lots of empty space between you and the people that want to disturb your isolation. Humans be humans after all.
