Off-planet is a great goal.
Also educated, healthy populations tend to have fewer kids. This isn't an overnight fix, but a long term goal. So the first move is to learn to share like the toddlers we are.
It's not easy and we dont have a solution yet. Greed is fundamental.

How much more should we disincentivize work? https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/GC.XPN.TOTL.GD.ZS https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/GC.XPN.TOTL.GD.ZS
- fartcannon 4y agoAh, well, as a non expert in the subject, the way you phrased the question made me think, 'as much as we can'. Probably makes sense to work on making it so that no one has to toil just to starve at the extreme end. And probably good to make it so people who haven't accidentally found wealth can try out ideas. I think it'll have to be phases. The first goal would be fewer musks/besos/gates etc and spread that wealth around. Eventually maybe we succeed in automating most of the menial work and let humans collective imagination drive the future. Greed though. That's our races great filter.
