Wanting to go to other planets while trashing Earth?
Isn't it rather strange that humans are extremely eager to go to other planets while simultaneously and very carelessly trashing Earth? You know, ruining its ecological system via pollution and tearing up its surface with our wars?
Wouldn't one expect that we first get our affairs in order on our home planet before considering such a task? After all, going to other planets means taking our personalities with us. The same basic character flaws that are responsible for our problems here at home. Do we really want to spread such characteristics throughout our solar system and then perhaps to the very stars as well?
If so, why? After all, these pernicious human characteristics, such as envy, hatred, selfishness, deceit, which trigger wars, murders theft, and unrestricted warfare here on Earth, will inevitably do the same out there.
Am I being unnecessarily premature and reaching baseless conclusions? Not one bit. Please consider that we humans are already considering the possibility of territorial disputes over resource-rich asteroids and areas on the moon and other such places and are already planning ways on how to obliterate planetary enemy installations with kinetic energy and estimating exactly how much we will need in order to do so.
So then why not delay our plans until we can show some indication of basic sanity? In short, we are perfectly aware that our personality-imperfections reinforced by our emotions which are causing us very serious trouble here, will sooner or later cause very serious problems out there as well. Otherwise, why would we be theoretically preparing ourselves for such possibilities?
Instead, isn't it much wiser to get our affairs in order here at home instead of spreading ourselves like a plague into the rest of the universe in that irresponsible way?
