Striving for what though?
These discussions tend to be heavy on Asimov-inspired scifi-think and weak on just taking a walk in a forest on a nice sunny day in late spring. All this talk about having to colonize space is just rubbish, compared to the wonders of nature that would be worth preserving.
But the audience here is strongly biased. If most of your day is spent in front of a computer and reading scifi novels in the evening, then that's where the discussion moves.
- FredPret 6y agoI’m talking about expanding the scope of human civilization, not abandoning this planet. Also, are you saying that forests are nature and space isn’t? Or are you saying that there aren’t any wonders of nature to experience out there? Setting up nice sunny walk-ready forests in space is something that’ll take centuries, but if we don’t do it we’re doomed. Incidentally, so are the forests.
