Dear Mr. Musk,
I am a 30-year-old man from China. I sincerely hope you can share your thoughts on a question concerning human development.
As technology advances and material needs are fully satisfied, artificial intelligence grows increasingly sophisticated. For the general public with average education, cognition and income,
(who constitute the vast majority of humanity and function primarily as contextual adaptors rather than drivers of global shifts), two potential trends may emerge in daily life.
First, people may indulge in easily gratified desires or immerse themselves in virtual worlds. They will gradually lose enthusiasm for exploring and engaging with reality, ending up living a life confined to personal emotions, desires and intensive virtual interactions.
Second, empowered by powerful AI assistance, people may develop an illusion of omnipotence. They will neglect human inherent fragility and lose awe toward the laws of the world and the universe.
In my opinion, your Mars exploration program reignites humanity’s passion for the unknown. Countless undiscovered cosmic mysteries sustain human curiosity, greatly reducing the risk that mankind sinks into primitive instinctive cravings and internal conflicts over interests and power. This represents an outward exploration path for humanity.
The inward exploration approach, which elevates spiritual awareness and explores the essence of life as well as humanity’s connection with the universe, is equally valuable. I have long been seeking a way to guide humanity to focus more on inner self and the essential bond between mankind and the world.
If cosmic consciousness exists in essence, the survival and evolution of humans and other species rely not only on material resources, but also on the continuous convergence of collective spiritual consciousness with the universal mind. Otherwise, species will perish, trapped in endless internal and external conflicts stemming from limited cognition.
I earnestly look forward to your reply. I sincerely wish you and SpaceX continued remarkable progress in your great cosmic undertakings.
