With unlimited resources, I’d solve the fundamental bottleneck holding back our species: getting off this single planet and establishing a true space-based civilization - colonizing our solar system.
Along the way we’ll be solving for energy, jobs, resources, environment and existential risk.
- antfarm 1y agoI for one love this planet and would never want to leave it for an existence on life support in a hostile environment, fully dependent on technology. What do you propose to do with life on Earth while you put all your unlimited resources into your flight plan, let it burn?
- theSherwood 1y agoOur lives are already nearly fully dependent on technology. Some of the projections for casualties in the months following a high-altitude EMP (or solar flare) are pretty staggering. Just losing computers means that most people die of starvation within a few months as global supply chains completely collapse. And you're being unnecessarily adversarial. The comment you're replying to didn't say anything about disregarding the well-being of life on Earth. Interpreting it that way is uncharitable.
- antfarm 1y agoTrue, my comment implied more than was actually said.
