Imagine getting so het up at antinatalists for their antinatalism that you have to eject from the thread
I think you need to take a serious look at the economics of the future and broaden your scope of intelligence.
The economy will no longer be work-bound in 20 years. More humans will not mean more productivity. If machines do all the work, humans become unemployed, and unemployment can lead to mental stress and depression in many individuals. Which in turn can cause social unrests. That is what this is about.
I agree with some of this,
but it should be noted that spaceflight is becoming kind of a modern mythology that describes the "fate" of humans.
I think you got some nice ideas but you really gotta work on your messaging. As it is, it's one big blob of text, and that's hard to read and parse through. It would be better if you can summarize your points in maybe 1-3 short bullet points, something like:
This will make it much easier for other people to parse your points and comprehend them quickly.
Also you gotta be realistic and realize what's at stake. If spaceflight takes up pace slower than you think, i.e. it takes 10 years longer for humans to set foot on another planet, that is already an economic crisis for the people alive today and needs to be tackled. Reducing the number of workers in a country is a way to reduce unemployment rate and it is simply important to realize how serious the situation is and how urgent it is to get this right. We can still do spaceflight by the way.
I think you have wildly missed the point.
I don't think this is a negative...
