Madness of some frick's idea of racial or political justice, realized thanks to electoral "victory", is not madness of occasionally annoying neighbours with loud motorcycle or talking too much at annoying but mandatory direct democratic formal meeting. Populations are toxic past a certain size, there's no arguing that. Putting some distance (space energy and matter) and some mental&emotional distance (age) would cut toxicity far below most of today's world's.Diogenes wrote:Betruger wrote:Hopeless.

The sooner we cure aging (time), get off this rock (space & matter), and solve fusion (or some other energy scheme), the sooner we can say goodbye to "society"s madness. Maybe that's the origin of Fermi's paradox. The further the better.
It is my belief, that wherever goes man, the madness comes with him.
I think the madness we are seeing now is a consequence of our unparalleled prosperity. Only in austerity do people seemingly behave more rationally.
Unfortunately it is basically required to haul ass as fast as physics allows to truly escape the madness. All it takes is one POS with the futuristic equivalent of a rented uhaul to spoil other's day.
