They want to go to space because an asteroid if mined could have more raw materials than are in circulation.
Do you think that'll be shared among our species or is it more likely they'll use it as leverage to become something more powerful than kings, presidents or corporations. That is a tremendous amount of economic leverage if you can deliver it.
They have no interest in living in space but 100000000% interest in exploiting it for resources with autonomous miners. The space exploration/tourism is just to get R&D paid for by the big earners but not really wealthy. Not wealthy enough to make a space station anyway.
I don't believe it's possible for another 100 years but that's 2 generations which is nothing if you're a dynastic wealthy family who thinks you're charting the course of humanity. If it sounds crazy keep in mind they were the original latch key kids, growing up with au pairs and private jets. Their thought process operates on a different inertia to the point of brain damage due to isolation from the consequences of their actions. One day we'll view greed as a treatable mental illness in the DSM. They have a hard time relating to normal people and see the working class as meat machines.
I got my invite and quickly deleted it when I found out that everyone there loved James Gunn and came at me for pointing out he can't be the flagship celeb to advertise the platform. My notifications blew up for days. It wasn't worth sticking around getting harassed when I'm not the bad person!
The opiate, fentanyl and meth epidemics are eugenics from the top down with how they're laser targeted to certain locales that have been divested from. The healthcare industry is ripe with corruption by design. More for them, less for you, that includes years on your life.
In general I think people are too eager to block and defederate for little to no reason other than disagreement. There are exceptions but as far as a normal conversation it's an overreaction and the antithesis of federating anyway. We already have plenty of siloed walled gardens that are echo chambers.
That's because everyone thinks they need to post all of their information to discord to get validation instead of maintaining open web accessible blogs that can be archived
People forget Joe Biden is a republican, a DINO, it's why he was saddled with Obama to make him more palatable to voters who saw Obama as too extreme with campaign promises to close Guantanamo, end the wars, codify Roe V Wade, and introduce single payer healthcare.
