I don't know about space colonization. Is it actually viable? I'm currently writing a short scifi novel for a magazine, I make it as realistic as possible and sneak in a lot of subtle alt right messaging as well. However, the more I dig into the stuff, the less plausible it seems.

Space travel is not viable due to time dilation and simply the distances involved. Then there's the even bigger question of reaction and inertia. It might be one of those things that are just not possible, like time travel.

I don't know, but it's where all of our efforts should be focused, because if we can't manage it there is a very dark future in store for us. Unless you have a compelling argument against Industrial Society and Its Future.

see my comment above, you're loony. thinning the human population should be job 1. 3rd World birth control and halting all immigration to the West is job 1.

I don't disagree on the short term objectives, but the long term objectives have to be something that captures the imagination and provides a vehicle for group pride and unity in accomplishments. I think space is a better vector for these energies than most other endeavors. Call it Galactic Lebensraum if you'd like.

I also believe that a highly technical society must by definition extremely limit personal freedoms in all areas of consequence, and these limitations over time will become unbearable. As such, long term - we must have avenues for people to opt out of existing control structures to strike out on their own. Self-determination and the power process are crucial to human sanity.

yeah, unfortunately this may be true. e.g. if any idiot can order atomic bomb parts on ebay and find the plans on the internet, we won't be long for this world. On the other hand, the idea that Jews have now which is "racism and it's very super special case antisemitism, is the greatest threat to mankind and must be clamped down harshly", yeah, well fuck that.
