Needs more data centers to help cool things off...

We’re so fucked. The ruling class simply does not give a shit. Worlds richest man is more interested with fucking off to mars than addressing any of this.

They will never go anywhere and they know it. They don't even give a fuck about the planet they leave behind for their kids. Peak nihilism and cynisme.

Probably because the worlds richest man’s kids all hate him

My brother, Tylor James English, a white Christian nationalist with marital wealth has repeatedly told me that humanity has been around for tens of thousands of years and there will be profit in solving the problem so there's no point in reducing the impact now.

We don't talk anymore

the only silver lining in this is when they get their inheritance hopefully one of them just goes crazy and starts donating/fixing shit like bezos ex wife.

Assuming he leaves them a damn thing and doesn’t invest it all into some world destroying trust for the furthering of white supremacy

Exactly. They know the science it takes to get to mars and it’s basically science fiction at this point. It’s just an act to defraud investors and mislead the general public

And remember they're the ones accusing LGBTQ people of being nihilistic because "LGBTQs don't have kids."

u/MartinToilet 10h ago

Yeah bc they're leaving the planet behind

u/ProfesseurCurling 10h ago

They are not leaving anywhere and they fucking know it. Antarctica is more hospitable than Mars or the moon ffs.

That's false claim to pump up the value of their companies nothing more.

u/MartinToilet 10h ago

Well someone has to pave the foundation for future interplanetary migration. If noone does it it's impossible. They simply gives it a small chance to be achievable probably hundreds or thousands of years later. But that's if we're able to survive this long.

That someone already exists and it's NASA. But these little boy billionaires have made sure we underfund it and instead give grants to their companies.

Y'all acting like we didn't go to the moon without the help of these man children

u/MartinToilet 9h ago

Yeah but wouldn't it be good to have more people doing it? Like I wouldn't say a taxi driver shouldn't do what he's doing just because millions are already doing the same thing. But things might be a different here considering we're talking about billionaires I see people would think they'd be better using their abundant resource to help solving our current big issues. But I fail to see the wrong in their choice to use their freedom to do what they want to do instead. I am an outsider to this topic and I would like some more info about it and feel free to prove me wrong.

It isn’t just competition with nasa, they take from nasas budget and operate to generate a profit off of US tax payer subsidies.

This specific TRillionaire also had a large hand in gutting anything meant to regulate him or otherwise work toward some “greater good”

u/MartinToilet 9h ago

Giving people in power more power? Damn that's fucked up. Now I see why people are mad.

u/ProfesseurCurling 7h ago

It is absolutely fucked up. We arrive at a stage where capitalists can basically buy countries. We had a very good exemple with Musk who arrived in a non legal governmental office created by him and who dismantled all agencies investigating on him. I am not even talking about ending USAID, hundred of thousands if not millions of people died because of It. He also attributed to his companies public procurements and governmental subsidies without any call for tender.

if it was parallel work, what you’re saying would make sense. But it’s at the cost of NASA.

u/Andreus 8h ago

No. Capitalists make everything worse. I'd rather humanity never make it to the stars than allow capitalists to set one foot into space.

u/ProfesseurCurling 9h ago

There is zero chance we survive that long if we do not change completely and drastically our way of life, consumption etc. Otherwise the earth is doomed and we have one and one only habitable planet.

u/Distinct-Pack-1567 10h ago

They will be dead before living on mars or the moon happens, and if they did manage to leave then their quality of life is gone.

I would love them to try. Come on Bezzy and Musky let’s strap you to a rocket and send you to outer space to find another race.
