you're right, i'm way off

but he could give every american 25$ and still have a couple billion left to spare

thats probably what it was lmao i was off by a factor of many tens

i was trying to do all the conversions in my head and royally missed target

Wrong. We have plenty of resources. Statism cannot sustain the human race. And the earth will not last forever. It is something to leave.

The way to redistribute wealth is to take away the endless supply of human bodies they could go through as companies

I agree we need SMI2LE

Space Migration

Intelligence Increase

Life Extension

We have to work towards colonizing other worlds

Space mining when

Increase the value of workers

export the workers to new worlds

Instead of just making each worker disposable

> We have to work towards colonizing other worlds
is this even possible

very slowly with current tech

Depending where or tech is actually at

> is this even possible
@rider450
It's absolutely possible. Better question is, is it feasible?

need generational seed ships to get to different stars

isnt that the same question

and all our terraforming ideas are untested

we might make some world ending mistakes at first

make mars even worse somehow

The ability is there, but at an absurd cost.

but we learn by trying

Elon may have been right, we should nuke Mars just for the sake of science

im more on the ted kaczynski than star trek side of things

What about the the system that would develop and repeat the cycle of who's in charge of what and the system repeats itself

that's one of the techs i was referencing lol nuke the poles

Got to remember humans are naturally destructive creatures

3000 people on an alien world working together to survive against all the odds and elements

Humans are also incredibly creative

who can tell what system they would create?

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

Robert A. Heinlien

the people of the moon (used as a resource pool for earth) gain their independence with the help of a supercomputer and a battle against the homeworld lol

Personalities would clash, trust issues would arise, and so on. It's a survival trait we have to assume the worst case possible for example a rustling in a bush could be the wind or a tiger if you're in the right area so you presume a tiger for your survival in the worst case

Yep

Fitting
