We don’t have anyone creating an immediately threatening doomsday narrative, therefore no urgency. And with no urgency, well, humans don’t seem to be great at doing things preemptively.

the Three Body Problem is an amazing work of scifi that helps make cosmic time scales + tech development more relatable. there are certainly major fictional aspects but I found it stimulated thoughts around this.
