Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never.
If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

Look at the internet: it caused small disfunction in certain professions (which, to be fair, we did diddly squat about) but basically eradicated in-person socialization in just a decade. We're on year *twenty* of mass social media and we've *just* started having mainstream, serious discussion

Here is a plausible scenario: AI parses 100 years of vacuous economist publications, rolls eyes and sleeves (figuratively), develops true economic science to end scarcity and hands it to humans. Humans get disgusted by the empathy and rationality of it all and pull the plug on the AI. 🤣🤦
