fear, scarcity... contrast the reality of seeing how much food is literally thrown away, how much product is literally wasted in the production of crap...
we are not acting like it is scarce, we are acting like we can consume forever without producing anything, and when we run out here, just go somewhere else and rape that planet.
this really doesn't sound like a good plan to me.
we could live in perfect harmony with the planet and not 'need' to go anywhere else.
but it is more profitable to pretend a space program, and for that we must scare the population into believe we must find a new home.
well, i'd like to take care of this one, stop pretending we can escape.
I completely agree, this reality is a bad illusion and fear inducing...monetarism has created a fake scarcity and that is why AI is a threat....I blog a lot about it.
