    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Adam Ozimek

    The killer app of colonizing other planets is not resources...it's the lack of government. As taxes and regulations rise, advantage of being in an anarchy increases...perhaps enough to pay for cost of building an artificial environment (Someone should write a novel about this!)https://twitter.com/ModeledBehavior/status/991499285442285569 …

    Colonizing mars is definitely a waste of money https://www.forbes.com/sites/modeledbehavior/2017/05/06/sorry-nerds-but-colonizing-other-planets-is-not-a-good-plan/#a99c3b051e66 …

        This is downright plausible, using the Space Treaty or similar for a pretext. I'd guess it won't work; too much incentive for some country to defect and provide a permissive legal environment, a la Artemis.

        Replying to @MorlockP

        It might be easier to maintain anarchist independence in habs built in hollowed-out spun-up asteroids. Though only centi-billionaires or the like could do that purely independently, so most would still have the issues flowing from collective/corporate ownership.

        It might be cheaper and easier to hack the body so that it doesn't loose calcium in low gravity. Then even small rocks could be colonised

        What about the leadership that would inevitably spring up? I feel that would be bound to happen. I feel any efficiently run colony would require leadership to delegate who's in charge of colony facets. Water, air, food production etc.

        It's a waste of time and money until suddenly they need a way off earth when the next planet killer asteroid is on it's way. I'll nod and smile at all their attempts to get a berth while ordering the crew to spin up the point defense cannons.

        By analogy Bitcoin is a waste of time and energy except a deflationary by design currency has value in a world of fiat malfeasance.
