Whatever happens on Tuesday, I think I’m going to be significantly more anarchist in my politics afterwards 🤔

Anarcho-spaceist. Utopian ideological goal of getting to be a spacefaring species by mildly-leftie-ancap means. Some superposition of Le Guin and Iain M. Banks. Earth as Urras and Mars as Anarres, with the very GSV, named Left Hand of the Compliment, orbiting between them.

How can you feed the starving children when there is no space exploration for them to aspire to grow up to join?

Gotta have a grand goal at least 4 lifespans past the likely end of your own life, otherwise you’re either a bureaucrat ideologizing organizational forms for their own sake OR you’re looking out for your kids.

I don’t have kids so 4 is good enough for me... and I think most people who are not super genetic-narcissist

I think 7 is about pricing in the meta. At 4, the dead hand of tradition is still steering.
Or these days, not yet dead! Next 4 years of empire will still be ruled by boomers.
