What they will do with their lives is destroy the autonomous trucks and any company that decides they must use them. This is what everyone is going to do eventually in response to the robots taking over the jobs. What will be the point of having nearly universal unemployment? It will be total chaos people will be driven insane by the complete upheaval of society and by no one having a place on the world. The ones that only become revolutionaries will be considered bland and boring.

Lurk more to discover the truth behind what happens if we ever encounter another space-flight capable alien species. hint: complete extinction for one or both species, nearly instantly.
>>132957527
the truck drivers are predominantly white males, so if they protest, it either won't be covered by the news at all or it will be completely put down. I predict that the millions of newly unemployed truck drivers will be attacked by the liberal hegemony as lazy for not having jobs despite their white male privelage. Perhaps, since we are talking 10 years in the future, which means after Trump's eight years, we might have some kind of Chelsea Clinton type liberal president. She will remove all welfare, govt housing, and low level government job opportunities from any poverty-stricken whites, in order to "redistribute the privelage". This is the next phase of the planned extinction of the white race. Non of the truck drivers will reproduce and within a single generation, whites will have dwindled into a mere slice in the population chart of America's ethnicities.
>>
>>132959397
Why would an extinction occur? Ethnocentrism on the part of the superior race?

Please elaborate
>>
>>132958750
>why would anyone make something ever?
Yeah that'll be what people from a society where robots do all the work would think. "why bother man, a robot will just do it better"

>one big motivation is pride,we want to know if we are able to.
We could do a billion other things for something as vague as pride. Literally anything else, like a mile high poop emoji would be something people could derive pride from since it's a great work of engineering despite being a big worthless shit, just like a space station.

>also crime should be less frecuent if you have a basic income and the prizes of all things tend to be zero.
You said that people still lack for things to do and are capable of taking pride in their hard work. So you end up with criminals who commit crimes because they're bored and it's a challenge. They don't even care about the item, just the fact that they stole it.

>hell even buildings can be made with 3d printers now.

>Why would an extinction occur? >Ethnocentrism on the part of the superior race?

Niggers outbreed us because they lack traits like responsibility.
>>
>>132959532
It's not about superior race. It's the fact that, even now, we are capable of firing nukes render the entire planet uninhabitable. In the world, there are some 15,000 nuclear missiles, and it only takes a few hundred to basically wipe out every last trace of life on earth within a week. Should we encounter another race, it would stand to reason that they would be capable of the same thing. Which means, if we want to be sure that we won't be instantly exterminated as race, our only option is to exterminate their race. And the same goes for them - So, then, the game becomes a race to destroy eachother as fast as possible. Whoever strikes first wins. Or, both lose. That would kinda suck.
I don't know enough about the topic but you can probably search for more on pol archives. There's more that I missed
>>
>>132959927
Oh wait I forgot, you can also shoot missiles to spin a planet out of it's orbit. Instant annihilation in this case. Nothing on earth would survive being 1% closer or further from the sun, basically.

No not really. Singularity-type thinking assumes there will be antigravity technology, matter replicators, ftl technology, magic anti radiation technology, etc, but nothing really guarantees that. So far in my lifetime Moore's Law has died. Its too delicate now and in the foreseeable future to colonize space. Materials are too weak.

Space colonization is the future of the white race. If you tie getting into space to having decent money, only moneyed (see: white) individuals will get into space.

The big problem is the Jews have money too, and will go to space as well.

Hopefully Mars is enough of a frontier that any suspected Jews can just be disappeared.

Musk hasn't done anything for space travel. He made a reusable rocket. So what, we had one 35 years ago too, and it was also shit.

There are no better rocket fuels than the ones we already have that aren't the worst things ever, like fluorine. Rocketry is too mature to get the tenfold reductions in cost that we'd need to make anything in space worth the money.

No. You're falling into the same trap as evangelical Christians who give fuck all for today while banking on an eternal life in heaven.

>>
>>132952882
No.

There's a massive lack of resources in the dead of space between planets and comets. You would need to somehow reel in comets from millions of miles away and extract resources from them.

The idea of colonizing another planet is just as far-fetched. The nearest option, Mars, is a dead planet with a diminishing atmosphere. The core of that planet is dead. Without some means to jump start the core, colonizing Mars is a pipe dream.

>m-muh terraforming

If terraforming becomes possible, there are MASSIVE swathes of land on Earth that can be terraformed into producing natural resources, and without the need for a big space expedition.

Humans living off of Earth is sci-fi circle jerking.

Lastly even if there was, odds are our technology and infrastructure is utter shit for what is needed to conquer and subdue an entire planet.

>So what, we had one 35 years ago too, and it was also shit.

It was shit because it wasn't really resuable for fuck. Musk's rockets are able to be sent up and only inspected, refueled, and sent again. The shuttle's rockets needed a massive refit process, which was extremely expensive. They were reusable on paper and that was it.

The speed of launches has significantly increased with the reusable rockets. It has also already reduced the cost by quite a bit.

The cost savings is definitely in the tens of millions already.

No, you only had the "Space shuttle", a complete white elephant that took three other disposable boosters to get to orbit, got massively bloated by congressional expectations and went from something that should've been refurbishable in a hanger for minimal cost to having to be near completely dismantled and repaired in a clean room after every single flight.

At least musk's actual rockets go up, come down, get looked at, touched up, then go up again.

Yeah so did the shuttle. The maintenance was the killer, and there's zero evidence that spacex saved a dime on refurbishing the rocket instead of making a new one.

As they're a private company that doesn't release their financials, no, we'll all have to wait until prices begin to develop as refurbished engines enter the mix.

>Musk is not going to make something better than the shuttle
>Your storybook narratives of technological progress
The irony. The shuttle was an unabated pile of trash, and even regular rockets (shuttle wasn't a "rocket" it was a fucking spaceplane with three other strapped on boosters) at the time would have knocked it out of the park if the ULA weren't a monopoly running on cost-plus corrupt contracting.

There are no storybook narratives of "Technological progress" here. The economics of a start up aerospace company that doesn't have cost-plus contracts or industry wide conservative practice, and better computerisation are the only thing that make this real.

It depends on what you mean by space colonization.

Some questions you should ask yourself:

* What is the purpose of the colonization? That is, what is the reason the people are there?

* What is being colonized? Empty space? The main planets? Moons? Orbital habitats? Asteroid belts?

* How many people are going to be colonists?

* Is it feasible to harvest enough resources to survive outside of our biosphere? Remember that humans need quite a bit of nourishment.

* For how long?

>Is space colonization possible?
Yes, but only if the state takes the initiative and redirects its funds towards achieving that. If we wait for the private sector to do that it might as well take us an entire century.

Therefor, the most logical conclusion is that we need a powerful accelerationist state to push technological development to its limits at all costs and achieve what is currently impossible, so the private sector can then absorb it and manage it on its own.

The difference between such a Technocratic state and the status quo Democracy is that the democracy wont intervene into the free market and let it develop its own means to colonize the space (probably later this century), while the Technocracy will develop that for the free market and then let it develop its own means. The difference is time, and we don't really have enough of it as we're all crammed onto a single planet that can be nuked into extinction, therefor its most logical to accelerate the process and adopt a technocratic government that achieves it as soon as possible, for the sake of all of humanity.
>>
>>132977597
Nuking the planet into extinction is a meme. Nuclear weapons are not a threat to the species, hardly even to civilization.

The only thing that is a threat to our civilization is climate change and increasing co2 levels which cause impaired brain function.

Oh, and the technocracy you're looking for is China.

If China manages to do something amazing like kill off all of its old people thereby alleviating its population bomb problem they may well save civilization.

China is not a Technocracy. The US during the Space Race was, so was the Soviet Union. Notice how that was also both countries' Golden Ages even if they were the ideological polar opposites

No need for any of that tech to make mass scale space development possible.
We could build an orbital ring today without any new tech. We could build a Dyson Swarm today without any new tech.

The orbital ring is amazing due to it's low cost, no need for any new materials and it gives access to orbit for pennies on the kilogram up to orbit and to speeds of 18km/s.

Also how else are you going to literally drive your car into orbit? Although even I will admit that mass transit to the ring is more viable.

Space does exist. Not only that, but Earth is hollow. Earth is hollow with polar openings that lead into its hollow interior. Outer Earth governments know about this, but are not telling the masses.
Daily reminder that there was supposed to be a voyage to the North Pole in 2007 to find out if there's an opening at the North Pole that leads into the Inner Earth World (and thus prove once and for all that Earth is hollow). The leader of the expedition was Steve Currey and he suddenly died from a brain tumour shortly before the expedition began so all of the money they got from people who were going to join the expedition was refunded. The new leader of the expedition was Brooks Agnew and the new expedition was meant to be in 2013, but shortly after THAT expedition was about to begin, his film crew suddenly vanished without a trace so THAT expedition was cancelled too (and, once again, the money they got from people who wanted to join their expedition was refunded). The expedition was/is known as the 'North Pole Inner Earth Expedition'. Here's a link to the official North Pole Inner Earth Expedition page:

http://www.x2-radio.com/phoenixsciencefoundation/npiee/index.html

Flat Earth theory = Reddit

Hollow Earth theory = /pol/

Also, Terry Smith was an Alaskan bush pilot associated with this expedition who agreed to fly directly over the North Pole to see if there was an opening there but he suddenly died in a plane crash on August 9 2010 before he could make that flight. NONE of these incidents are (((coincidences))). There is a world inside our world.

Possible but EXTREMELY difficult. Things like a space elevator or an orbital ring would make it easy but they're economically impossible to build.

It's a little shocking how proponents of both solutions don't understand the physics involved.
>>
>>132952882
It will only happen once we end statism. The state is sand in the gears of the economy, and we need an incredibly massive economy before we can start colonizing. We also probably need a population of 50+ billion before it will become cheap enough.
>>
>>132991128
That's a retarded argument. you're retarded. Manned space exploration advanced exponentially more rapidly during a time of competition between two (white) states than it did during the following 40 years when statism was being steadily corroded.

When people start talking about building an orbital ring that's a giant red flag that they simply don't understand the topic.

Ok so you d0 10,000, or 100,000 rocket launches or whatever and build an orbital ring. Wonderful.

BUT it's still moving at orbital velocity. You can't attach elevators to it until you decelerate the whole thing down to geostationary speed.

Good fucking luck slowing an object weighing several billion tons down from 12,000(?) mph to geaostationary

That's another retard argument since one is definitely possible while he other is generally considered impossible with our current science.

I can't give an informed opinion either way. You would think that someone somewhere has done the math and confirmed that the ring could support itself and that's why it is considered a viable technology.

But when you consider that nobody brings up the subject of decelerating the ring once it's completed the whole theory becomes suspect.

The alternative is building the ring in geostationary orbit which increases the altitude from around 200 miles to 22,000 miles and if you'd building geostationary there's no need for a ring at all.

So yeah I don't understand the orbital ring proponents at all. It doesn't make any sense. It sounds good on paper but it's just not economically possible and maybe not even physically possible.
