Shouldn't we ensure that we have the time to evolve socially just look at how far we have come it used to be the excepted norm to have slavery. Child molestation used to be considered quite acceptable and it's not now there are many examples of things that used to be acceptable that are not considered acceptable now.
We were given this planet or maybe life came from Mars to begin with we don't really know it could have been some microbe from mars or elsewhere on some Meteorite that provided the spark to kick off evolution. Maybe we were given the brains to try to extend our Species lifespan and the opportunity to do so. Mars to our knowledge at present used to be a water planet and will probably be one again could not the fact that Mars can become habitable mean it was left to us as well. To allow the entire system to collapse would be to throw the baby out with the bathwater. We need to build on the good that we have achieved to date and discard the negative things that hold us back.
How can space exploration be both a stepping stone and shortsighted at the same time a stepping stone is a first move a way to the other side therefore it is actually a longsighted view to the future. And I think that even the Mayan's and Egyptians had only a minority of their population that had the vision to explore I can't believe that 100% of their population were brilliant Scientists, Philosophers, Explorers there would have been your average Joe and Jane Blow that had no understanding of anything but their own daily lives. Just like today  as to whether things can change from just words I think you maybe mistaken there words are far more likely to change the world than bombs and bullets these make people just to want revenge but words can make us think and improve ourselves.  |
Wasn't saying your point of view was wrong...I just disagree; doesn't mean I'm right.
Actually, everyone wants the same thing/outcome, but we vary only in the application of change.
We can drill-down into each and every topic in detail, but then we separate our viewpoints. When we keep a holistic focus, we all have the same agenda/viewpoint.
Personally, I believe that these experiments - Communism, Socialism, Democracy etc etc - have all failed because of the human condition (greed power etc). The only thing left to try, would be a global Monarchy; give everything to just one entity, money, power, everything. At least then, there's nothing to fight over, no possessions, no sovereignty, and no difference between the races. But the Monarchy would have to earn the position and it cannot he handed down within the bloodline...it must be earned. A Nobel Peace price every 25 years...the winner literally takes-all. Ridiculous I know, but what else is there?!
When you own everything, and there's nothing else to have, you tend to look after it or give it away to someone who can do.
