i am willing to delay space exploration until climate crisis is averted and whatever utopia is gonna look like is achieved, but then space.

Why

The only reason is to have more space for more people, but having 20 billion people instead of 10 billion in no way improves the individual's conditions, which is ultimately the only thing that matters.

Instead of expanding, let's retreat, lower the population and let nature reclaim more and more of the planet.

10 billion is too high, isn’t it? Maybe future tech will expand the Earth’s sustainable carrying capacity but we’ve already exceeded it now. In any event improving the living conditions of the people we have now is & should be prioritized over trying to make a home for a small sample somewhere else, unless we’re assuming we’re totally boned down here already.

If things are fixed in the future we can/should definitely go to space though, which I guess makes me one of the dreaded rocketeers in the end.

Exploration is ill-advised.
If we can't counter climate change there's absolutely no way anything like making Mars habitable is ever going to happen, and not just because there won't be any humans left to reach it.

this is all true but also humanity can do two things at once and space exploration takes up like no resources compared to the huge amount of effort averting climate disaster will take.

Colonialism has brokebrained us into thinking the world is a welcoming playground when the reality is space is incredibly more hostile to life than anything on Earth and any settlement would be a fuckoff expensive project terminally dependent on resource flows from the motherland. This will stay true until our tech is basically magic.

Well they would, given that you actually came into existence at the moment of upload and you’re remembering the memories of a dead person. Or a very confused one staring at the computer and asking why he’s still here.

I'm concerned more with the interminable experience of the self created in that moment from then on and the possibility of that self realizing from a first person perspective that it has been ripped away from the very ground of its being, experiencing its "life" from then on out as a cosmic joke, eternal crawling of digitally simulated skin. Kind of like that moment when the salvia kicks in and you realize you never actually existed

only because women had birth control, mass was being said in local languages, and he hadn't yet considered abusing children instead of having consensual sex with adults because every catholic knows there is no difference between a queer person and a child rapist :colbert:

nah, it ranges from the likes of gestahl and shinra getting hosed over by their insane science experiments, who from there certainly don't have a plan, to the lavos or giyagas school of just being primevally compelled to do the thing they do with no significant interaction from the protagonist
