If only it was that simple, really it's dozens of reasons that change or shift about and have dozens of reasons lodged within them like the people in charge and running things, and it's all retarded and petty and small-minded moreso then the thing before it and it's just a fodder mine for misanthropy.

And these help underline how recurring the smallmindedness factor is. "Eh we've got that stuff here", "eh think of the economy", when most children with basic first world educations could tell you that shit won't last forever and artificial equivalents might not exist/be feasible. People way smarter and with more reach then kids have been screaming this stuff for before the goddamn first world war.
And this shit takes time to develop, so when shit hits the fan with resources or population or whatever to the point of being unavoidable then that's a problem that will hit critical mass BEFORE you figure out how to do arcologies in space let alone terraforming the chalk orb that's always been overhead... and those are basic bitch steps before starting the basic bitch steps needed to begin the development of actual space travel so that can develop to the point where we can begin the process of searching for our alien waifus.
Nah bro that's risky and hard work, just feed Africa for like a month with that money.
FUCK
I genuinely feel like an interior lifeform after looking into this. Like, bugs that exist to live for one day and exist to breed for the next batch to do the same thing feel less pointless and dumb then we are, because they're actually oblivious by nature and never fuck anything up in their lives.
