I won't pretend I have the answer because I don't but these feelings and thoughts keep plagueing me.
It's ridiculously contemptuous to keep replaying the games and thoughts of oligarchs. Yes they offer some brilliant ideas, but the focus on other planets as places to conquer just prolongs the mental illness of our species. That illness is attempting to find a solution in man's greatest sin, obsession.
The constant warmongering is the isolated ego competing for the most of what it wants. The ego is shallow and vain. The ego simply wants to win. Like the plans, desires of Donald Trump. He wants to be elevated to a god-like level. Fantasies of grandeur, being worshipped by millions is the driving force for a narcissist. Life itself is much more complex, too complex for our capitalist egos.
We adorn ourselves within our fantasies first. Do we seek fame or survival? The great man theory is not about emperors, kings or movie stars. Forget queens. Man can dream of being a fearless leader but not the queen, not since the witch hunts.
The Royal Family are confined to DNA, beauty queens are fantasies. We humans need to grow beyond fantasy. We can't be saved by fantasy. We can't be saved by ego. We can't compete for the crown because we don't have a functioning everlasting dream.
A few brave souls can't save the world. We have to all want to save the world even if we are not glorified or honoured. Saving the world is feeding it with what it needs most.
We, they, need to be recognized, nurtured and protected, not by battles, world wars, soccer, or trophy. The trophy we need to win in self respect, nurture, life, peace and love. And this must begin with ego, common sense, wisdom, nurture and an acceptance that we need one another.
Rather than think of great heroes, think mothers and fathers, plump and calm.
Forget wild contests in huge ships. Think science of nature, the shit of survival. The love for our lives and all others.
Forget Hitler, Trump or Musk. Think family.
