“We need to have a big permanently occupied base on the moon, and then build a city on Mars and become a spacefaring civilization. We don’t want to be one of those single planet species, we want to be a multi-planetary species.”   — @ElonMusk https://t.co/RvMPqb15kO
Not if we kill you first.

BTW, what is your opinion on non-Western countries such as China, India, etc trying to develop more advanced machinery than the West in terms of AI, genetic splicing, etc?

On the one hand, I do not like that they are trying to emulate Westerners, but on the other hand, I believe this is somewhat of a self defense mechanism in their part, as they could keep the West from gaining an upper hand technologically and thus keep them from developing even more advanced technology .

They could do this by leveraging their control of greater amount of natural resources against the West, in effect preventing Westerners from acquiring the resources needed to develop the more advanced technology. This could be a backup plan if Demographic Blueshift fails.
