And my feeling is that there are too many people in the middle of a masculinity crisis who are currently at the head of world government.

Sure, even in the early 80s, with Stanislav Petrov, I believe, who more or less said, I think the Americans probably aren't actually attacking us.

I'm going to hold off on launching.

Yeah, several times it's come down to...

sheer good luck and i just don't i don't feel like playing russian-american roulette forever i mean it just i guess even the questions are offensive why are we pretending that this is it's not safe i mean to me the exciting thing is if we were smart we would be taking the supposed peace time dividend

And we'd be plowing it into the idea that the solar system is an escape room.

It's our job to escape the solar system as fast as we possibly can and spread out so that if something goes wrong on one planetary surface, we're not all doomed.

And that doesn't seem to animate anyone.

To me, it's clearly the world's most important question.

I've spent my entire life on this question.

I'm not really on the podcast circuit.

That's what I really do.

No one's interested.

No government is interested.

There's no institute.

There's no fund.

There's nothing you can apply for.

No one is interested in the idea that the solar system is an escape room and that Einstein is our jailer.

We've got to get past Einstein before the thing goes off.

It's as clear as day to me.
