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

You are out of touch with reality. This can become very dangerous to you personally unless you are aware and can compensate. ====
