I’m not saying we will destroy ourselves, I’m just saying given how unfathomably large space is, that even if we could travel at the speed of light… We’d be going nowhere.
The lightcage (limit of speed of light travel) will kick in faster than you would expect. I believe it is less than 1000 years at current growth rates. It’s like compound interest.
Remember: Infinite growth is not sustainable in any natural system
It is once we become a space faring civilization. For the next couple million years at least. Well, not infinite, but certainly exponential.
Space faring 😂 we are more likely do destroy ourselves and everyone on this planet than we are to ever leave our planet. Nevermind the solar system.
I appreciate the concern, and I think it’s good to have awareness of a possible future like that, but that’s a sad perspective to have.

We’re unable to create a self-sustaining biome on this planet. There’s nothing about space that will make that task easier.
