he was not talking about only fossil fuels though... he was talking about tech and progress in general. the point was, every time people invent something or made progress - it gets popular or/and overused by people to the point progress is not matters anymore. he was giving example of computers and internet... modern tech in that area is million times better that old tech... but people also want million times more from it as well. so in the bigger scheme of things, the progress doesn't matter... 20 years ago people watched pictures on the internet... now we have 1000x times the power, but we still watch pictures on internet. why? because pictures are now 1000x crispier, and we do that a lot more. so tech gets better but we also demand more and more form it. at some point humans didn't knew how to preserve food. but now we have refrigerators... but we still get spoiled food in the markets. why? because not only we want fresh food... we want scecific food any day of the year, in the closest market to us, with a ton of variety... so now all that companies work for us 24/7, produce the said fruit out of season, store it, transport it over the ocean, put it on a shelf ect... and for you, who could just say "meh, i want brasilian bananas, and not argentinian" see? so you can go to Mars... and it will be a big leap... but then the demand will catch up, and Mars will face the same problems Earth have - overpopulation, overpollution, energy crisises, wars for resources and territory, government bullcrp, taxes, inflation, not enough workers, not enough working places, housing etc. - but that's not only part of the point. let's say people will create flying car with warp drive, working on cold fusion or whatever... at first it will be a big leap... but then people would just travel constantly. "- honey, want to go to Spain for 3 hours after work? - Sure!" boom there boom back here, no big deal. not only it would bring a ton of other problems... it would completely casualize the whole point of travel. you would ask yourself: "why did i needed it in the first place?" "why did we watch Instagram every day?" "why did we came to Mars, again?"...

@@ivanchizhikov9939 perfectly described, if it wasn't an asnwer to an comment this should be pinned. As of now even if we are able to travel to mars and start an colony there. If let's say the earth does get destroyed, our technology all around isn't advanced enough to keep the colony alive. So the whole point of keeping humanity alive would be thrown out of the window the second there is no human on earth anymore. Also what would be the living conditions of the ones who are then stuck on mars ? They are on this big red planet and can't get out of their station because the atmosphere of mars would kill them in an instant and the materials to build something to get off mars are none existing. So if nothing happens to the colony you will have generation after generation of inbred familys who probably go crazy and this shit will turn to some doom kinda stuff. Let's just focus on our lives here on earth first.

We can get to Mars. 1903 was the first human flight, a mere 66 years later, we landed on the moon. 66 YEARS! If that isn't one of the biggest technological leaps for humans I don't know what is. Mind boggling.

And this guy has a doctorate?

A robber comes to you with a gun and says, "Your money or your life!". You choose the latter. What would you tell a friend that later asks you why you made that particular choice especially considering that the robber could possibly have been bluffing? It's similar with our relationship with the universe. It's entirely possible that we could have some kind of a huge natural or man-made disaster that could threaten the survival of all of the complex life on Earth. Even without that, thinking long term, planetary and stellar expansion could possibly be the only way to survive in a galaxy potentially sparsely filled with other advanced alien civilizations that could at this very moment be considering starting their own expansion.

A reason for why would also be to study what is really needed to colonize a planet. At some point you would just need to go and try. Mars would be the testing grounds to learn additional information and techniques of what would be needed to do. This way, future studies would have a better understanding and be able to see what things do work and which techniques don't. If we some day have the technology to go beyond mars and find an actual suitable planet, they would have already learned much on how to approach certain things. Isn't this how science progresses ? By learning from previous trials? You can argue "but we are far from that technology to traverse further in space" but that doesn't matter. you can still start learning other avenues that ARE within our grasp to do so. More data -> better understanding. And the guy just picked mars to do that, because it's his money and HIS dream. Could he have picked the ocean? sure, but he doesn't want to. If you want to, why don't you? seek funding and do it yourself i would say.

I bet if you asked him what Bulgaria was like he could talk for hours about Bulgaria. Then you'd ask him if he'd ever been there and he'd so, "No. I read about it and seen it from videos. It's the same thing as being there." Anyone who has worked in the construction field knows the disconnect from architects and actuality. You'll be building and come to a point SEVERAL times where you come to the conclusion that the architect is a moron. You have him come to the construction site and see for himself and he has to then make a complete change. In Buddhism, we have tons of these academics and scholars. 90% of which have zero meditation experience and if you went to a talk from one of the highest, most knowledgeable leader where he taught about compassion, loving-kindness, forgiveness, etc. you could push him and he'd flip out screaming and maybe punch you in the face. These guys are so locked into a world they created and projected that they are blinded from reality.

It is the act of genuinely attempting to find the words to provide a True solution without loss, that is most effective in developing critical thinking skills, cognitive ability, without entrapping themselves by being blinded by their desire.

Goofy! Nobody has ever gone to the moon or any other place outside of the atmosphere!!!

We will never go there. We will never colonise other planets. Why? Because we are not able to.

There's no current practical reason to send humans to Mars. We can't survive on it indefinitely, we can't assure travelers of a return journey, or even of their safety, can't grow anything on it, can't industrialize it in any way, can't extract anything cost-effectively from it, and can't terraform it. It's incredibly expensive to travel there, and once you landed on Mars it would be probably months to years before you could launch to return to Earth (would be my guess) because you'd have to wait for the planets to realign, which occurs only once every 26 months. No doubt most of these limitations will change in the future as technology progresses, but it's a question of when. Mars travel is irrelevant until most or all of these limitations are solved, and it could easily take centuries for that to occur. Currently absolutely none of this stuff looks likely to change anytime in the near future. If we have had no reason to return to the moon, much less ability to colonize or terraform it, for practically 50 years, despite computers that are infinitely more powerful than those of the Apollo missions, what on Earth makes anyone think the idea of colonizing Mars is something that is going to be a practical reality any time soon?
