To Save Civilization Do We Need to Escape it?

961.1Comment: Elon Musk promoted the colonization of Mars because he contends that it is necessary for the preservation of the species. “It’s important to get a self-sustaining base on Mars because it’s far enough away from earth that [in the event of a war] it’s more likely to survive than a moon base” (The Guardian).

My Response: This is salvation in a sense that if humanity becomes engaged in this, people will forget about war. Otherwise, no Mars will save humanity from war. Only a cure for our egoism can save humanity from war.

If we start taking such medicine for our egoism, then we will not have to fly to Mars. There will be no war.

But overall, a journey to Mars will not give us anything. This is childish.

Question: Still, he is talking about rescuing humanity so we could escape war that we would start here. Are you saying we will not be able to escape?

Answer: Escape from what? Are you bothered by Earth or by people?

Comment: Well, there will be a war here, but we will jump and escape.

My Response: Then it is a different matter. It means you do not care what will happen to other people here. You consider that to escape civilization is in fact the salvation of civilization.
