@Forgetful_Gynn @boeswilligkeit >Limited resources
A real genuine concern
>limited heat dissipation capacity, constant threat of rocks falling and everyone dying
Non-issues
>Do we want to destroy the world God gave us? Do we want to let all of God's creation be destroyed?
No, obviously
>What level of quality of life is acceptable on Earth?
How do you define "quality of life"? Do you define it by how many screens and toys you get to consoom? Or do you define it by rich culture, bonds with others, clean air and good food? Can space ever offer this?
>Should we prevent all humans from breeding or cull people by some arbitrary means to keep numbers at some very low level?
I don't think we'll have to. Billions will die out once we reach a point of inflection. Suggesting that we cull people is the kinder option that induces less suffering but nobody's going to do that for obvious reasons.
>If we want to survive and thrive, we need space colonies. Space, mind you, not planets.
Even more delusional than suggesting colonies on other planets
