So... We manage to master space travel. We manage to master interstellar travel. We eventually find a planet with suitable environment for sustaining our species. And we just overlook it.
Can someone explain me the reasoning behind this?
Sci-fi to the side, there are more minerals available - readily - on asteroids and barren planets than anywhere else. Why go hopping around looking for habitable planets, to the reason of 1 out of who knows how many, to then strip mine it?
You realized I just opted for having a divergent view on the subject, right?
The realization that we probably wouldn't change how we are make me a bit glad we missed the chance to be a spacefaring civilization and are screwed here. The universe didn't need that, one planet ruined is enough.
I've found peace recently thinking about our blue planet. We may cause chaos for a bit, but in the grand scheme, it'll be fine. The rivers will run, the oceans will be blue, plants and animals will eventually, over tens of thousands of years and longer will be fine.
Humanity is fucked, we destroyed our chances because we as a society could never get over our greed, but the problems we cause will be temporary. Over time the planet itself will heal. We just won't be here for it.
That being said, it's why I'm choosing not to have kids.

It is also about settler colonialism. There are natural gas fields off the coast of Gaza.
What do you mean? Communists didn't mine minerals and didn't exploit indigenous people? Lol..
I dont get it either. This is not about capitalism, this is about human nature of mindless expansion and exploitation...
"It's human nature," okay bud and what about all the groups in history that prove otherwise? You're just washing history with capitalist mindsets.
