@WoodshopHandman @boeswilligkeit >I don't think people supporting themselves with crafts and other physical labor, living in cozy cottages cooking real food with woodfire is a drop in standard of living. I'd consider it an improvement, actually.
So no hospitals, then.
>And the odds of that happening again are miniscule. You are worried about things that, statistically, aren't a threat and won't be for thousands upon thousands of years, if humanity even lives that long.
I see it as an inevitability regardless of how long. You said we should avoid the destruction of the earth and its life.
>I don't like electricity. I'm forced to use it because I live in modern society. I don't actually see the problem with living in a close-knit tribe of people like you where homes are made from natural renewable resources as opposed to the atomized community-less world we live in today.
Again, the lack of hospitals will greatly impact the quality of life of people. Also, the severe costs of failure that you have mentioned and the smaller size of each colony will make them very tight-knit and competent communities.
>Shitting in tubes is enough to argue otherwise
Space colonies generate "gravity" by rotating. Living on them will be nearly identical to living on Earth.
>Both of these require complex systems with many fail-states that appear very easily.
Yes and in your proposed system crop failure will be an ever-present issue without modern tools. Replacement parts or supplies can be acquired from the earth or other colonies in mine, the odds of one tribal village giving another its food are far lower, especially without proper methods of refrigeration to allow greater surplus. Not to mention how plague and disease will effect the population without proper medicine.
>Okay so you watched gundam or star trek or something and actually believed it
UC Gundam's orbital space colonies were derived largely from Gerard K. O'Neill's book, The High Frontier. They are entirely practical in engineering. Star Trek's setting is silly.
>Why?
Because such an event would push us to a level far below what you imagine in your cottagecore concept.
>I'm gonna ignore your redditor science nerd wank after this sentence because the simple response is why don't we just do it if we have the technology?
The Economic model of jewish capitalism only places value on immediate economic returns for a handful of people on Earth. Space Colonies only provide benefits to humanity itself, and do so over a long period of time. If we'd had a system more like the National Socialists, a good chunk of humanity would be living in them by now.
