What do you care when itโs only the elite that will make it there? The rest of us will burn here on earth
I care cos the survival of our speicies is more important than any individual or their ideology. Plus i recon i got a real chance at being said elite.
Iโd argue that if we canโt protect the little guy from the billionaires, then the race has no business continuing on into space.
So ur posing an ultimatum where one case is the extermination of our entire speicies the genociding of our enture spiecies.
Is that what u really stand for? The willing genocide of 8billion people?
Honestly given current technology, it makes the most sense to care for the Earth than attempt to colonize other planets, which are fundamentally unlivable in a myriad of ways. Survival of our species doesnโt mean a whole lot if it is 8 guys in a Mars base dependent on regular supply missions from Earth.
Not to mention, if we do focus on our planet and how to best manage the environment, it teaches lessons on how to potentially manage other planetsโ one day.
I love this narrative that space colonization is about getting the โeliteโ off Earth after theyโve supposedly ruined it, leaving the rest of us behind. And then what? Are the elite going to sit inside a tiny capsule on Mars for the rest of their lives, eating potatoes and drinking recycled urine?
If an asteroid were about to impact Earth and I had to choose between the elite escaping to another planet or humanity going extinct, Iโd gladly let the elite survive to restart civilization elsewhere.
You think those selfish dicks, who would rather fuck off to another planet instead of try to curb their own behavior to fix this one, are gonna create some idea egalitarian society?
Fuck no, theyโre gonna have a slave class to do all the work for them.
