That was so scary . My hearing isn't that great so I could not understand all of the words. Are there lyrics written somewhere? It made y want to crawl underneath my desk and never come out.
Oh, yes, while for *my* ears/mind it *just* goes hard it can make (intended, as music) impression on different humans. I am still human (with all unfortunate biases etc) But there is whole fascinating (for me) interplay between ideas and attempted implementation in xx century. Rocketry of course was heavily used in wars, and heavily funded as part of war efforts. Hey, last image is basically Soviet answer to SDI ("Star wars"). But what if different fractions captured hearts and minds in early XX century? So nationalism got defeated earlier, technology used more responsibly, ecology is not ignored until bitter point? I honestly do not know WHAT, exactly must happen to our brainz for such change to manifest itself. A lot of things was tried, without fundamental shift. O'Neill thought that _may be_ if we allow humans to have their own Land in The Sky at least _some_ problems will fade away? But we never even got to those SPS stations on GSO .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSLZkazuArs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ixhSQPBFxI USSR did all kind of errors and ....toxic masculinity on great scale. But at least economically planned (with computers) economy does NOT require constant growth in all sectors! HUGE win in era when we have https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/dec/09/human-made-materials-now... https://ewastemonitor.info/the-global-e-waste-monitor-2024/ It all was modelled since 70x, O'Neill was HORRIFIED by implications of bottling up 9+ billions of industrialized humans in suddenly VERY finite planet. So was I after reading Energy and Human Ambitions on a Finite Planet 2021 Murphy, Thomas W, Jr Published Web Location https://doi.org/10.21221/S2978-0-578-86717-5 So I pivoted hard back to space, not because space alone can magically save us, but because it _may_ provide energy for somewhat technological living for this amount of humans without horrible unequalities. But there is long, long LONG road from here to there .... I have enough free time for reading old debates like https://archive.org/details/spacecolonies0000unse again, from 1975 and I see where we are 50 years after and I like ...owwww!!!! it HURTS! But for having both population && institutions ready for honest Way Shift it must be started earlier ... And this is what animates me. For changes to occur in 2070x or NOT fail in say 2091 horribly *things* should be done today. But, what exactly? No idea. We operate 1 million times above our natural (?) social limit of 100-150 humans per tribe. Hierarchy as organizational method allowed us to overcome this, but at horrible cost.
