Humans will never go past Mars (ghostofcarnot.substack.com)

Space is really spread out, and we will forever lack the means to get around it fast. Space also happens to be highly inhospitable to human life. For these reasons, I submit that no human will ever go farther than Mars.

That is true. Well, I’m out of options. As long as humans are greedy and arrogant, there’s no clean way to solve this problem. All of my ideas involve using power one way or another.

What if there was a technology that publishes the face of any murderer? (including soldiers) and bans them from my social network

Or a technology that allows a refugee to trade in everything they own and set up elsewhere without their livelihood being stolen?
