We need to solve the patterns of power that caused our present, not just run away from it to a new frontier. A human race that exhibits internal growth and awareness, not just expanding physically until we fill the next-biggest pond.

Like, developing technology to get into space? That's the easy part. Developing a culture that doesn't just re-enact old atrocities and institutions with that technology, that is the greater challenge.

There's much of the SF fandom/STEM folks who have that kinda.. Techno-utopianism where getting into space is the endgoal in of itself

That doing so will solve all our problems

But like, that ignores the fact that we could feed, house, educate & clothe the planet with the technology & resources we already have.

@theoutrider Ironically it was hit pretty hard in the UK by lobbying groups/tabloids on the general theme of "crass videogame corrupts the youth & disrespects Our Brave Boys with mindless violence", iirc..
