Love this. I’m so tired of seeing “we have money to go to space but not save our planet”. No, we do.
We have enough money to prevent climate change.
We have enough money to end homelessness.
We have enough money to end world hunger.
We don’t do these things cuz we don’t want to.

It's all an investment scam.

We're never leaving this planet, or this solar system, or galaxy.

We evolved to live here, specifically on this planet. This atmosphere, this gravity, this level of radiation.

We will live, die, and go extinct here.

Not a bad thing, everything ends.

Humanity's entire history is accomplishig things thought to be impossible. There was once a time you would be called a fool for trying to cross an ocean. Now millions of people do it daily

Said someone with no optimism, no hopes for the future and absolutely no trust in the scientific process at all.

You're telling me humanity, despite our insane technological progress- if we don't lead to our own extinction. Which is unlikely actually, won't leave this planet within 5 billion years?

Once they start seeing to all the needs then there would be no one left to kiss their ass like they want

The reason we don’t “save our planet“ is because there’s more money to be made for corporations in *not* saving the planet.

A realistic approach to combating climate change would necessitate major worldwide shifts in how transportation, agriculture, & power usage are conducted.

Doing this would mean the end of the casual consumer culture that the modern-day West considers its birthright, and that the developing world finds appealing and addictive just as we do.
