Y'know we could have had spaceships each since the 1930s?
*[Edit: No. Seriously. Follow the tech arc from Michael Faraday through to Nikola Tesla. Take a look at the Sonora Aero Club from 1850. See? We never needed rockets. Even air-planes came after the zero-inertia-propulsion innovations. See how much we're kept down?] *
But sure, lets just keep succumbing to this manufactured scarcity and provocations unto civil war, pitting us against each other, falling for pitchforks-vs-torches, buying more pitchforks in fear, believing the rumours the torch people want to take away your pitchforks, or even that other pitchforkers are plotting against you. Yeah, keep believing that narrative from the plutarchs, kleptarchs, attercoparchs, oligarchs, billionaires in the handshake clubs. Maybe they care. :3 Maybe your neighbour is your enemy. Be very afraid! Obey! LOL.
Or we'll stop falling for it already?
PS, 2A means we're all to be afforded access to the best of means... what better than a spaceship that you cannot crash, safe enough for a 2 year old to fly home, can sustain human life indefinitely, can print another of itself instantly, zero point energy powered, with zero inertia propulsion (means it can accelerate or stop instantly, and do high speed right angle turns, etc), for your defence against rotters foreign and domestic?
Do you have a spaceship yet?
Everything else is noise [or worse ~ like the whole guns thing, keeping us down, keeping us divided and conquered, keeping us fearful, keeping us in a prisoner dilemma and tragedy of the commons, keeping us from taking our countries back from the crooked club who couped it decades ago... arguably a century ago. Does anyone like what Edward Bernays (or Hearst, or Anslinger, or Hitler) did to us? No? Maybe we should undo that, and get back to where we should be by now [i.e. spaceships for everybody]. And again, no, I am not trying to take your guns away from you. I'm saying that's a divisive weapon of mass distraction to turn us against each other, to take our attention off the crooks in power. Time to party like it's 1999 (or even 2019) again, and stop falling for the weapons of mass distraction.].
PS(2),
Yeah... I'd probably succumb to it too, and buy a gun or two, if I lived there.
Easy to be an angel in heaven.
