SILENT RUNNING

in ethics •  3 years ago 

spending billions to go to mars or the moon is idiotic.

we can't even manage to build a self-contained habitat here on earth.

we continue to be plagued by wars and violence because we worship violent men in our history books and in our movies and in our television shows and in our books and in our personal stories. we worship feudal hierarchy. we embrace dictatorial control in our corporations and even in our families.

de-masculinizing mitigates violence.

being nostalgic for "the good old days" is understandable.

being nostalgic for "the good old days" is idolizing violence.

Very interesting, thanx for this video. I had almost forgotten about it, but can also remember biosphere and connect it to big brother shows.

I would also classify it as successful because it seems to prove that you cannot build a closed biosphere in a non-closed system. To call the Earth itself a closed system does not seem correct to me, because the Earth is open to forms of radiation from space and is part of the galaxy in which it orbits and to whose influences it is exposed, so it is not correct to call it self-contained.

The innumerable mistakes and accidents, as well as what one does not know when putting such an undertaking into practice, should actually be clear by using one's mind. It would probably have been wise not to have any expectations of the project at all, but to publicise it completely as open-ended instead of making a show of it for future Mars colonisation. On the other hand, without the constant expectations and exaggerations, probably no investor would have been found and the whole thing would have been classified as too boring for us humans before it was even started. HaHa!

There is a funny irony in these projects and the way man thinks about himself and the world he emerges from rather shows how he is psychologically wired, constantly clinging to the assumption that the future will save him and nostalgically transfiguring the past.

Only a few decades have to pass between each utopian idea as the younger generation jumps back on the same bandwagon. In times of viral fears, it seems like the biggest joke of the century to think of space travel, if one subscribes to the theory that man, accustomed to his habitat, would immediately be targeted as a big mouthful if he set foot on extra-idric territory.

In fact, I would want to fund such projects with gusto, engaging in a form of unserious communication, and accidents and the unexpected as the typical never-ending stories that are so interesting precisely because you can't really predict their endings. Because there is one thing they are not: finite (from how I see it).

all long-term remote space travel is shockingly unrealistic

has anyone tried to live in their zombie apocalypse bunker for even one year ?

people are quick to exterminate insects and rodents, which are actually integral
