There will never be millions of humans living off the planet.

Humans are pushing the limits of finite resources on Earth. Partly due to the scale of population, and partly due to the excess consumption of a small fraction of us. What humans repeatedly fail to do is equitably share the resources we have. We are greedy and self-absorbed.

Flinging a few million humans into space where they are utterly dependant on resources from down below hardly seems like an equitable or sustainable scenario.

Tech Bros don't do equitable. They don't do sustainable.

They don't look at the Earth and see a fragile home that we need to care for. They don't look at humanity and see a complex cocktail of emotions and evolution. They don't see technology as a tool for advancing humanity, they see it as a tool for advancing their wealth.

What does help humans? Books. Vaccines. Homes. Communities. Stuff like that helps humans.

I thought I was done, but I am not done.

We are living through a moment in history bejewelled with such incredible technological achievements, the likes of which we could not have hoped for in my lifetime. And we are squandering it all.

There are scientists today who have worked out how to record gravitational waves that are smaller in length than a fraction of a proton. We have actual cures for a vast number of cancers that were once certain to kill us. We have vaccines that prevent suffering and death. We have built airliners that can lift 500 tonnes into the air and fly from one continent to another, and land themselves on arrival.

And the science that brought you all this is now the enemy of the American govt. It's the enemy of religious nutters and anti-vax influencer moms who think their feels are more valid than hundreds of years of scientific process.

All this happened because we live in a society that forces people to compete with each other for limited resources, instead of working together to enrich our lives. We are told to be more productive, instead of more caring. We are in a race to survive, to better the person in the next cubicle. It's hunger games, but we get to vote for who punishes us.

The reason we see so many bad govts all over the world is because we have been taught to be selfish instead of kind.

Humans have become their own disease.

Good advice.

We may not be able to fix everything in life, but we can always make things better than they already are.
