Just what we need--start spreading our legal monstrosities across the universe!
Jokes aside, this is one thing I don't understand about Elon's viewpoints. He's afraid Earth's insanity will destroy itself, which is why we must spread to other planets. He forgets that as soon as he relocates people to Mars, that same insanity will be relocated with them.
- ASalazarMX 6y agoMars has an opportunity to start from scratch, with the current knowledge about political systems but superior technology. It's a golden opportunity to start anew the human race. Take for example the current elections in USA. Elections in Mars could be a two-round blockchained poll transmitted in real time. It would be over in minutes instead of weeks.

And very strong transparency to avoid elites to embed in the middle and suck wealth and influence without providing societal value in return.
