- nickthemagicman 8y agoHave you SEEN human history? Human beings are not good at what you propose. Human society tends towards domination and enslavement over caring for each other. Half the people believe there's an invisible Man in the sky that grants you wishes if you pray hard enough and that their invisible Man is the only correct invisible man. We're primitive and we have nuclear weapons. I think we need an alternative.to this planet as fast as possible.

Even if we found a way to feed any hungry person and any other person would earn $1000 for every poor person fed, a considerable percentage of the population would oppose it. We will never be able to come to an accord on something and it's probably a good thing though. I wish much more money were spent on space exploration so I could enjoy the findings in my lifetime, even though it might not affect me more than a tv show.
