I imagine we'll discover fusion before longterm space colonization
which means we'd be able to get literally anything less dense than iron (anything more dense if we can get supernova level temperatures under controlled circumstance but that's more post-dyson sphere stuff).
Yes, Fusion, Artificial intelligence, Automation, space elevators and extended life spans should be roughly ~50 years away.
They should be at least
>inb4 norks nuke us all
North korea alone isn't a threat.
They'll just fuck up the pacific ocean life a bit and level a few east asian cities.
As it stands basically yeah
Their ICBM tech is way behind
i've always held that north korea should either be invaded or we should drop the sanctions.
If you get millions of cheap cars and action movies into north korea the government will either liberalise or collaspe.
kek
I feel like they're more of a nuisance than a proper threat but they are a pretty annoying nuisance
the issue is that if they get enough tech they might drag someone else down as they drown
That is true, SK and japan come to mind
norks and sorks
Yes, but a nuke on Anchorage or Guam would be annoying.
And as much as we joke, nuking California would be a tragedy of ill comparison.
Seoul will be leveled by conventional arms.
Japan cannot be nuked, their missile defense system is too good
Seoul is a pretty shit place, I wouldn't mind seeing it go
but a nuke going off in the sea of japan would also be shitty.
You say that but if seoul is gone then what are we gonna do with all these communistic, poor, uneducated north korean peasants.
Seoul is insanely overpopulated though
Dumping them in there wouldn't really be any better
i sure as shit don't want to take 1 million north korean immigrants (though i'd probably take them over the somalis any day of the week).
and if South Korea doesn't have the economy to sustain and rehabilitate and integrate them you're gonna have a refugee crisis
Norks would probably be insanely docile and submissive, for the first 2 generations at least
But I guess we do need seoul so that the sorks can actually do something about what kim jong un and co left behind
perhaps but they're also illiterate, uneducated and the escapees are often overwhelmed by our societies.
And should the North Koreans vote in the unified korean elecitons?
They're barely literate and have been indoctrinated into communism their entire life.
yeah they haven't been exposed to the sensory overwhelm of modern society
it'll be a mess.
which is why they shouldn't have been embargoed and left to hermit kingdom this long but we have what we got.
Truly another victory for communism
Man, imagine if Marx was shot and killed before he could write the load of shit that is the Communist Manifesto
The world would be an infinitely better place tbqh
Something else would have taken it's place.
Hopefully from a less hateful and spite filled man but the ideas were already there, someone just needed to make up a bullshit formal framework
The thing is that marxist school of thought is ok as a political analysis tool, it's just that marx himself was a fucking idiot who couldn't even use his own ideas to create something decent
The problem is that he's overly reliant on his mediocre analysis system
He treats people as objects rather than actual human beings
that's not how it fucking works unfortunately
