Far into the future
You are part of the so-called elite, with money in your pockets, an army of suckers to satisfy your every desire.
The planet is doing badly, the human species has produced to the maximum of its capacity and devoured almost all natural resources, oxygen has become profitable because it is progress.
A holy man from ancient times, a visionary, a divinity to many of your fellow human beings, named Elon Musk created a Mars base for the richest, for the best genes among humans.
A crucial choice is before you.
- Are you going to join the productivist elite to go and destroy the planet Mars because you have the right and the power to do so ?
or
- Are you staying on planet Earth to try something?
(In this case please elaborate on what you would like to try)
Stay on Earth.
Pretend all is normal and fine.
Once the ‘elite’ have left to their new planet:
Cut off all communications with them. Destroy any of their supply lines left behind. Wait 5-10 years.Watch as the Earth heals rapidly, with it’s biggest source of destruction now gone and nature resumes being an unstoppable force.
Live a long and happy life, free of megalomaniacs.
Optional: hold hands with two chicks at the same time.
“it is always easier to terraform terra than to terraform another planet”
-some smart mf that i couldn’t remember
oxygen has become profitable because it is progress.
It already is! overcharged oxygen canisters in the hospitals
I’d kill myself to prevent further drain of resources, but not before convincing every other elite I can find to do it too.
Or, alternately, go to Mars and sabotage/monkeywrench the whole thing.
