Earth responded to my thoughts on what humans should do for long-term survival (which I posted at the tab “What should we do?”). Here is Earth’s response:
“Earth is speaking. Earth believes that John has been trying to help others understand what is necessary for humans to act in a way that works for human survival. Earth understands that survival means not staying at humans’ current level. Humans must continue to advance. Earth believes that fusion power is the way for humans to continue advancing in a way that will allow humans to go to other planets and come back. Earth believes that not reaching for fusion power means giving up the potential of going to other planets and coming back. Earth believes that this is something that is fundamentally important. Earth hopes that humans will take this seriously. Earth needs humans to consider the consequence of not going to other planets. Earth knows that if humans do not go to other planets, and humans do not continue progressing with technology, humans will move backward. Their ability to live as they are now living will decrease, and humans will reduce in population at a lower level of technology. Earth hopes that humans understand, this will be a catastrophe, for Earth and for humans. Earth hopes that humans are able to continue working together. Earth knows that there are a number of humans who are concerned about the situation and motivated to act to make things better. Earth understands that if humans are able to do this, they will be able to overcome what is going to happen in the next four or five years. Earth believes this is necessary to ensure that humans who are motivated to work together are able to make decisions for humanity. Earth wants this to happen, but Earth does not believe this is inevitable. Earth knows there is a real possibility that humans will not succeed in working together to advance technologically and go to other planets. Earth knows that this means there is a very real possibility of human self-destruction. Earth wants to avoid this. Earth hopes that humans will continue thinking about what is necessary about what is necessary for humans to progress technologically and go to other planets and come back. This is all that Earth will say.”
