@JohnBarentine A powerful article—one I can fully endorse.IMHO, Elon Musk promotes a form of longtermism that is fundamentally inhumane, as it disregards the time scales that are meaningful/accessible to us as human beings. Earth is a complex system that cannot be reliably predicted—something we've known for over a century. As an alternative vision of science fiction, I see "Dune" by Frank Herbert as a compelling counterpoint. In this article, I explored this idea.https://www.silberspur.de/blogs/read/96
