we wont "need" planetary colonization until 400,000 years from now.
and civilization as we know it is only 4,000 years old.
and we're going to exhaust all raw materials in 400 years.
if climate change doesnt cause a catastrophe in 40 years.meanwhile, why not "colonize" the Sahara or the antarctic. it has atmosphere, survivable temperature, no UV rays, water source. colonizing mars 395,000 years too early is a wasteful error.

I wouldn't go with 400.000 years old as some hard number. But yeah , I agree.
Elon Musk goes on saying things like "SpaceX will colonize Mars" , but that is a full-on lie. The likes of Space Programs are aiming using drones , then human landing to make on-spot data research and then , eventually , creating a scientific base.
All of that would need 100 year or so to make it in a responsible and sensible way.

u/gromain 12h ago
Thing is, you can't "terraform" Mars. You can try to change characteristics but this will never solve the issue Mars has in the first place.
There is a reason Mars is not habitable, and can't hold enough gasses to form a proper atmosphere, and that's because it's not heavy enough to have a gravity high enough.
Not amount of terraforming (short of creating an artificial gravitational force) is going to solve this.

That, plus Mars will have the same existential threats in the form of asteroids and other objects hitting it even if we could make it habitable with sci-fi tech. So you would want to protect it with some deflector system or another, same question, why would we ever focus that to protect Mars and not our current home to start with? And Mars second if at all.
Now, if we could only invent something to protect us from our own suns biggest farts, if that ever hits directly we be cooked anyway. Any Mars colony even more so with that shitty bit of gas calling itself a atmosphere. Our own sun can end us with a big fart in our direction.

The odds of man lasting an additional 400,000 years is a stretch. We'll be our own executioners.

Narcissists are rarely honest and genuinely do things just to get under peoples' skin because they like to see the reaction, aka narcissistic supply, which is what you're calling trolling.
This person isn't referring to what we colloquially know as narcissistic traits, but narcissistic personality disorder, which is always going to be far more common than we'll ever know because of the fact that no narcissist is going out and seeking a diagnosis. They're absolutely everywhere and Trump and Elon are both textbook narcissists. Narcissists are walking egos fueled by narcissistic supply (the constant flow of pain and frustration of others) and pathological avoidance of feeling shame by externalizing hatred onto others. It's its own lifestyle, personality, everything. Every action a narcissist does is in service of their own ego.
edit: not trying to sound like I'm scolding you btw, I've just endured a lot of narcissistic abuse in my life and once you are forced to look into that abyss and research what the fuck is wrong with the narcissist in your life, you see how there really isn't anything unique about narcissists. All of their differences are extremely superficial. They're all exactly the same deep down and they act the same way, even if there are different flavors of narcissist you may encounter in your life. It'd be fascinating if they didn't do such horrific damage to everyone they encounter.

It kinda works as a cautionary tale against human genetic engineering, though.

The divergents were the results of breeding programs to fix the damage done to humanity by making people whole again.
Where it fell apart was how the universe operated. I get the whole “you can overcome your genes” message of allowing the kids to choose their factions. However, the fact that those kids’ parents were genetically engineered to be a certain way and the kids only get one shot at joining a faction that may not play to their strengths. If they don’t successfully become part of the faction, they’re ostracized from society and become homeless. It’s literally the opposite of the intended message.

Wasn't this about Cypher's choice to live inside the Matrix because he hates eating slop and living in a spaceship?
Don't you think that Neo could just express his disinterest in all of this and get on the same side as the machines the way Cypher did? The initial pill choice was whether he wants to see the truth. Calling it "forced" make it sounds like they kidnapped Thomas Anderson without his will.

When you have the mainstream media on your side, you’re not the resistance, people.

I know he's free-floating nitwit with no real ties to reality and no one in his life who cares about him enough to correct him or tell him no....but V For Vendetta? He sees himself on the side of V, from V for Vendetta??? It's hard to tell if he's trolling, actually that delusional, or just is like guessing at the plots of movies.

The irony of mentioning Star wars is that "resistance" was against an analog for the US empire lmfao

Main character being the underdog usually makes a better story

Watched Andor and sided with the resistence and an insanely rich guy was part of the resistance. The resistence wasn't just a smokescreen for pushing that insanely rich guy's personal financial interests and he actively criticized himself for what he had to do to defeat the most powerful entity in the story.
I wonder if Elon thinks he's ever done anything wrong other than when he's failed to get exactly what he wanted.

I'm positive at this point Elon is either history's greatest troll or, more likely, a straight up retard.

He really sees himself as some kind of hero, doesn't he? He really does think he is Tony Stark without the suit. I hope he gets his suit, because we all know its gonna work about as well as a CyberTruck.

Even autism and ketamine can't explain this level of delusion. He's fucking nuts. Send him to Mars already, fulfill his dream.

We all thought he was so intelligent? Then he started speaking. Now I can’t figure out if this is propaganda or stupidity? He can’t actually believe this? We KNOW he’s stupid…but he can’t be this stupid? Can he?

Excuse me Erik, would you like to sign this petition that says the richest man in the world was always part of the resistance? You might (definitely won't) "win" a million bucks!

Everyone is the hero in their own story even when you have 8.2 billion dollars.
$100, to someone who makes $60,000, is $644,666,666 to Elon. Think about that for a fucking second.
He recently spent $20 million on an election in Wisconsin. That would be if someone who made $40,000 donated 3 dollars and 92 cents.

Yes, we still are siding with the resistance, he's just consistently on the side we're fighting against and is too stupid/blind to see that.

In every one of those films we can point out almost immediately which character Elon would be. Its the wealthy megalomaniac bad guy who thinks he’s saving the world by destroying the people living in it.

Elon, you are Snow, Vader, Smith, Mathews, and creedy, all wrapped up in one and minus the spine of any of them.
