Think "instead of..." 'course correcting scorched earth.' My opinion of people like Musk and the rest of the technocrats is they ARE Darwin's finest example ... of "Marauders and Pillagers". Any service to society is coincidental and unintentional and solely related to 'wealth accumulation'. Philanthropics too... It's for the writedown. Not because they really care. Rr
He's fucking delusional if he really thinks colonizing Mars will be easier than course correcting scorched earth.
My actual thoughts always come back to fermi's paradox and the great filter. Humanity is short sighted, greedy, and totally self destructive.

We need to colonize the Moon, Mars, the asteroid belt... Would be a massive job creator.
I liked Elon Musks little video showing his SpaceX systems blasting off to Mars..
