China is playing with the tools of God while we are playing nursemaid to endless hordes of mud creatures.
It feels like our country was poisoned. Like we were going to be the biggest strongest in the world with the most advanced technology bringing in the greatest minds of each generation and then some guys in small hats paid off a bunch of corrupt fucks in our government past the immigration act and then opened our borders to be endlessly flooded by the absolute fucking detritus of the world. Creatures whose IQ is so low that we can't even put them on trial for crimes because they are too retarded. Creatures that honestly shouldn't even be considered as human.
Meanwhile everything of value is being looted from this country and shipped overseas. The ones doing the stealing are already preparing to move out of this country.
While on the other side of the world countries like China are purging terrorists and all the trash that keeps trying to come in, have secure borders, and actually execute rich people and politicians who do illegal shit.
Meanwhile they are rapidly developing new technologies that border on the science fiction. Things that could effectively provide infinite energy.
They are playing with the tools of God exploring the very fabric of creation while we are busy blacklisting people who do IQ tests and telling you that chromosomal makeup means nothing It's all about what you feel.
Peter is not correct about me in this case.
I have always known that dangers from Earth will also pose dangers to Mars. Obviously so. However, the immense difficulty of traveling to Mars means that there is a much higher likelihood of mitigating risks originating from Earth.
A clear example of major risk reduction would be a deadly pandemic. Since it takes 6 months to reach Mars, there is an automatic 6 month quarantine!
Even traveling at the speed of light, a deadly computer virus or AI attack can potentially be stopped due to Mars being ~4 to ~20 light-minutes from Earth.
This doesn’t mean that a Mars civilization eliminates all risk, but it absolutely greatly reduces the risk of consciousness being extinguished.
Moreover, Mars is a stepping stone to extending consciousness broadly within our solar system and ultimately to millions of stars within our galaxy, which would extend the probable lifespan of consciousness as we know it by many orders of magnitude.
That said, what I personally find most motivating is not the risk reduction aspect of extending life beyond Earth, but rather the inspiring nature of exploration and being out there among the stars!
Perhaps we will meet aliens or find the remains of long-dead civilizations that lasted millions of years …
