@DNLee5 I've read the whole thread and still don't understand if you're denying his premise that we need to be a multiplanet species.

@rpournelle I'm not responding to it all

@DNLee5 would you please?

@rpournelle I'm not. The 'pioneer' frameworks need constructing first

@DNLee5 historically pioneers were mostly loners. Not exactly an inclusive or friendly bunch

@rpournelle historically pioneering has been encouraged including financed by not exactly or friendly bunch

@DNLee5 many were looking to change the dominant system or paradigm. That's something to work with.

@rpournelle are you really giving me an apologist explanation of European & American pioneering?

@DNLee5 @Simberg_Space I am trying to figure out what's wrong with that! ;)

@HomerHickam Nothing, other than the "white" part. @DNLee5

@Rand_Simberg @DNLee5 We're all mongrels, we humans. But I think manifest destiny is and was great!

#crine "I think manifest destiny is great!" @HomerHickam @Rand_Simberg Hahahaha!& the first guy doesn't get why I included the "white" part

@DNLee5 There may be people who think that only white people should settle space, but I don't know any. @HomerHickam

No one will say this ostensibly. BUT the reality is that is EXACTLY what this Musk narrative promotes @Rand_Simberg @HomerHickam

@DNLee5 That's nonsense. No one will say it "ostensibly," because no one believes it. @HomerHickam

See, how culturally embeded inequity works - you don't see it nor believe it. You think YOUR view is universal @Rand_Simberg @HomerHickam

@DNLee5 because colonists will be only rich, privileged people and not anyone else?

RIGHT!! but more importantly I think it INVISIBLES all other forms of humanity & wrecks the earth @mdmzero0

@kyraOcity Nice, Thank you
