The first, and also the most futuristic techno-utopian one, is the colonisation of Mars. Elon Musk founded Space X in 2002 (Peter Thiel was the first outside investor) with the idea of re-founding humanity. It’s all there: the call to save humanity by turning it into a multi-planetary species, the desire to start from scratch without the legal constraints of Earth, and the will to break with the established order. As you can read, half-hidden, on the terms and conditions page of the Starlink service owned by Space X:
The parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.
Omg so just go to Mars and leave us all the fuck alone.
These bros are so goddamn stupid, and I wouldn’t even care except they’re going to kill us all in their delusional dumbass pursuit of a technocratic AI powered utopia.
And they’re all so fucking miserable even if they succeed they will just wind up all alone in their robotic powered biodomes wondering wtf the point of existence is bc nobody is left to stroke their dumb fucking egos.
Seriously. It’s like… let’s just give these guys a TV show where they can live their fantasies without any of it affecting us
I barely have two nickels to rub together, but I would donate them if it would get these fuckheads to Mars.
