    Trump: “Jump!”
    Musk: “How high?”
    Trump: “Get as high as you can!”
    Musk: “I am already as high as I can, I wanted to know how high I should jump!”

      Sadly, I think it’s Musk doing the commanding. Knowing as much as I do about Musk’s philosophy, that’s not a good thing. If Trump wasn’t fascist enough, Musk certainly isn’t going to help.

        I have no doubt they are empowering each other in a sick feedback loop.

        I had a friend that was always into guns but was normal about it. Then he started hanging out with this other gun guy. Within a couple years they were both psycho gun nuts. He started sleeping with a loaded the gun under his pillow. Even though he had a five year old son. To quote “He isn’t strong enough to cycle the slide so it’s ok …”

        I noped out of the friendship after that.

          Sleeping with a loaded gun under the pillow. If somebody wants to kill you, and is in your bedroom while you’re sleeping, then you’re going to wake up to a bullet going through your brain, before you go back to sleep permanently. A gun under the pillow doesn’t even make sense in the gun nuts paranoid delusions.

          One my old friends became a cop. He would leave his service Glock in it’s holster on his belt, hanging from his computer chair. While his then 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son ran wild, with no supervision.

            Did he forget that kids will go out of their way to touch it. I remember when I was a little shit, I did a lot of things I wasnt supposed to do. I only got caught for the worst ones.

    • They seem to honestly believe that Musk will get human beings to Mars before the end of Trump’s next term (under the assumption he has one).

      I’m sorry. This won’t happen in Trump’s next term (assuming he has one). This won’t happen in my lifetime. This won’t happen in the lifetime of anybody currently over the age of 20.

      MAYBE someone who was born today will see human beings land on Mars.

      MAYBE the grandchildren of someone born today will see human beings build something semi-permanent on Mars.

        Hear me out: They’re planning to lose.

        Promise ridiculous prosperity will happen when they win.

        Lose.

        No matter how successful the winner might eventually be, they can always point to the ridiculous prosperity that never happened, letting them rob their base of even enjoying the basic joy of any progress, keeping them mad, hateful, and controlled.

        I mean the technical hurdles aren’t insurmountable. But we lack the political will power to put resources needed into it.

        It would take 60s moon landing level of commitment for 10-15 years to do any sooner.

          It’s a stupid idea, and a massive waste of resources that could be used here. There are multiple articles from real scientific sites, and YouTube videos from real scientists why it’s a stupid idea.

          It’s technically feasible in the bare minimum “Got there” sense. Bringing someone and getting them back. But we learned a lot by the moon exploration, and that is that we aren’t ready for colonization. Living there, for a long time, let alone indefinitely, that is where the million details are still unresolved. I think that’s the problem that is worth tackling. We already know we can live in space for a long time as long as there are continuous shipments of resources from Earth. We could just flood the logistics problem with money and get to mars next year if we wanted to. Other than the psychologically horrifyingly long distances involved, of course.

            I’ll say that Andy Weir got most of it right on how to do manned missions to Mars.

            You build a huge space station, and then use that as the ship that goes to and from Mars.

            Then the actual mission on the surface lasting a month or three before the astronauts pack up and head home.

        • The technical hurdles are insurmountable with any technology we have today. It is impossible, period, for humans to be landed on Mars in four years. It is impossible, period, for humans to have a semi-permanent settlement on Mars in the lifetime of anybody alive.

          Going to the Moon, our closest neighbour, is child’s play in comparison to going to Mars. And look how well getting humans back to the moon is going…

      Nothing says liberty like the Republican party, where you can’t be yourself, love who you love or have control over your own body.

          I believe that’s a so called neo-liberalism, mostly synonymous with “laissez-fare” approaching to economy. While classical liberalism seeks for personal freedoms, neo-liberalism seeks for freedoms of fake, legal persons.

            The book I linked is an academic work that details how the major liberal philosophers dealt with the contradiction between freedom of the bourgeoisie and freedom of the exploited classes. It’s not a long read, and does the important work of contextualizing their philosophies.

            Liberal education has a tendency to present liberalism as if someone just got the idea for everyone to be equal and free, and then the people democratically embraced capitalism because that’s the most freedom and equal system, and history ended.

              Guess what I was trying to say is that that changes over time - and not in a good way. But maybe if you read the book, you can tell us more :)

              Edit: looks like the author posits it has “always” been shit in mostly “liberties for me but bot thee” ways.

                I understood what you’re saying, and I’m telling you it’s historically inaccurate, I just gave you a book explaining how your classical liberals practiced and argued about slavery and other “freedoms” of the bourgeoisie.
