Our current economic system containing 'inflation' is making space travel more and more expensive. If we don't have species get off of this Earth and out of this solar system, WE ALL DIE and go extinct with no conscious entities left to care. What exactly is space travel going to cost in the next one hundred, one thousand, one million years? Economic inflation just might kill us all eventually because getting out of this solar system would become too expensive to do. And this doesn't even take into account all the mass extinction events that will occur on this Earth between now and then.
ONLY those entities that make it out of this solar system will consciously survive longer into the future, everybody else dies and goes extinct. It's apparently nature's way of getting rid of 'dumb asses' in this universe. Find out a way to continue to consciously survive, or die and go extinct. Your freewill choice.
We need more 'space industrial complexes' and less 'military industrial complexes' to try to save species from this Earth instead of killing the species on this Earth. The military can win all the battles they want to here on this Earth, but if they don't get out of this solar system, they will all die one day too, forget everything, and be forgotten, just like the rest of us.
Choices in life. What exactly do we, individually and as a society of individuals, choose? To continue to survive beyond this solar system, or die and go extinct? Possibly even due to inflation making space travel just too expensive to do and/or squandering and/or mis-directing our resources for other agendas here on this Earth? If the military's budget were spent on the space budget, where would society be today?
We as a species need to change course and every entity needs to ask themselves this question:
'What exactly is being done to try to save any species from eternal conscious extinction?'
(For if no conscious entity truly exists by some means throughout all of future eternity, then life itself is all ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Life itself would all just be an illusion, an illusion that would all end one day and be forgotten.)
And of course, if main stream modern science is correct concerning this expanding universe ending in a 'big freeze' and we all are going to go extinct anyway, then pass the money around and let's all party like there is no tomorrow, because one day we will be correct. But, party or no party, it will all end and be forgotten either way.
(Personally I believe main stream modern science to be wrong about this universe ending, hence we need a very pro-active space program as this Earth and it's Sun are not supposed to last for literally all of future eternity. That, or we all die one day from something and go extinct.)
