“My 5 dollars: maxipoc is mostly not about space colonisation, but prevention of total extinction.” But the goal of avoiding an x-catastrophe is to reach technological maturity, and reaching technological maturity would require space colonization (to satisfy the requirement that we have “total control” over nature). Right?
I am not sure that the goal of x-risks prevention is reaching technological maturity, and may be it is about preserving Homo sapience, our culture and civilization indefinitely long, but it may be unreachable without some level of technology. But technology is not the terminal goal.
