treecher Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 Listening to the Patriarchal Apocalypse podcast ( December 18, 2016 ). It got me thinking more about an idea been rattling in my brain for a while. Elon Musk seems to have turned his talents to the human infestation of Mars. While I think this an excellent idea, my question is; What that society should/will look like? I like the idea of men giving the Earthers what they want. Leave the Earthers to the paradise of no builders, no designers, no engineers, no mechanics, etc...
dsayers Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 What that society should/will look like? Asking what society should look like is to suggest that anybody could know such a thing. I don't think that they could without taking away the ability for others to decide for themselves. What will it look like? Depends. If people accept that humans do not exist in different, opposing moral categories, it will flourish as much as it could given the environment. If not, then it will be Earth 2.0, only much harsher. I don't even know if such a thing is possible. Humans have evolved over many, many years to adapt to Earth's gravity, temperatures, etc. My understanding is that just trying to live on the moon, your bones would lose density in such short order that you wouldn't be able to return to Earth if you wanted to. Many people would have to die for a few to survive to propagate Mars. I could be wrong about that of course. I especially don't think it can happen while the people Earth still worship statism. Because when the free market outcompetes the State in a way that allow people to avoid the State, the State steps in to either make it illegal or seize it for themselves. 1
A4E Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 I wouldn't spend time thinking about this if I were you. First man on the Moon or Mars is not going to happen any time soon. We are much more 'stuck' on this planet than people think. A manned mission to mars is 99.99 % fantasy for several decades to come. Don't waste your time.
Wuzzums Posted December 18, 2016 Posted December 18, 2016 If South Park has ever taught me anything is that I should beware the cum and joke mines of Mars.
Kikker Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 For a society to exist on mars there must be something that people want, something that can be done there more cost-efficient than on earth. You can go only so far with fanatics.
treecher Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 China has announced they will be on Mars by 2020. More likely China will be an economic basket case by 2020.

Boss Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 It will look like humans trying to exist in area that didnt evolve with them
