Back. Slo...> Let's Ask These Undecideds...<br /><br />Back. Slowly. Away.<br /><br />https://www.reddit.com/r/intj/comments/56ibsc/are_any_of_you_extreme_thinkers/<br />------------<br />Are any of you extreme thinkers? (self.intj)<br />submitted 3 days ago by ltbattlebadger INTJ<br /><br />I, in a lot of ways, am a very extreme thinker. One example being that<br />it makes more sense to me to kill convicted murderers or rapists rather<br />than spend crazy amounts of tax money keeping them imprisoned for the<br />next 25y - life. Instead, that same money could be used for things like<br />feeding or housing the poor or virtually anything else.<br /><br />After Elon Musk's recent talk, I have been very excited about the prospect<br />of moving to Mars and even worked up a savings plan to put me at the<br />$200,000 in the next 13y+/-. I was researching Mars terraforming earlier<br />at work and it seems as though there are many proposed methods that could<br />very viably work, the only hindrance being money. I look and think about<br />think very large scale and I got frustrated at this. We could start terraforming<br />Mars now over the next decade and maybe by the time rocket technology can<br />start moving people the planet could sustain us better. A colonization effort<br />would be way more successful and safer with a semi to fully terraformed planet.<br /><br />Out of my frustration, I turn to my co-worker and try to explain (very poorly,<br />granted) my frustration. I began to say that it is frustrating that we are<br />being limited by money, something we kinda just made up. That why can't<br />we just put money aside, unite as a species to accomplish this very, very<br />important goal. My coworker was just like "uh... that's slavery..."<br />But I began to think, is that really all that bad? Obviously whips and chains<br />and shit are terrible. I'm speaking more like we are globally united with<br />one common goal, to further our species. To achieve that goal, everyone<br />will have a job. All creature comforts, food, housing, etc will still<br />be provided for you.<br /><br />At this point I feel that I have been ranting for far too long. I will<br />just leave it here. I look forward to your input and thanks for reading.<br /><br />. . .<br /><br /><br />eleitl 3 days ago <br /><br />You are out of touch with reality.
