They're not, but sadly, one is terribly more urgent than the other
- mclightning 5y agoyou don't understand what it means to be "not mutually exclusive".
- fighterpilot 5y agoDo you say the same thing when someone wants to make a movie, produce a video game, buy a sports team, start a social network, and so on? Why does this criticism always get levied against the Mars vision, which at least will have positive side effects like new tech, a lower risk of being exterminated by an asteroid, and something aspirational that we can look up to. I feel as though the anti-Mars thing is a meme that has gone around social media and people are just uncritically buying into that frame. Where's the anti-movies movement or the anti-sports teams movement?
- bertrandpp 5y agoI definitely want to do all the things you mention, but these things can only be done on a viable planet, which is less and less the case for the earth.
- antisol 5y ago"one is terribly more urgent than the other" I completely agree. We need to get off this rock ASAP.
