Yeah. Peak exctinctionist talk is to plainly just state we're never colonizing mars, lets instead hate on those that put immense effort to trying.

He's not trying to colonize mars, he's trying to get power and wealth and for you to like him. Nothing irks this man more than someone who doubts he is a saviour. It is reasonable to demand we fix the planet we currently inhabit, rather than believe a ketamine-addict that the better solution is to just let it go to hell and move on.

If he wants power, wealth and fans then he could retire already because that would be mission accomplished. It seems that there is some other motivation.

I already like him for his previous, immense technological achievements. Go preach your ignorant hate somewhere else in the cave you live in.

Peak extinctionist talk is to pretend we can colonize Mars, especially without saving our planet so we have somewhere to launch from.

Also, Mars is a pipe dream of people who know more about Star Trek than space exploration.

>Peak extinctionist talk is to pretend we can go see what's beyond the mountains, especially without solving all our cave problems first, as we can only ever launch such a lofty expedition from the cave.

>Also, going past the mountains is a pipe dream for people that know more about children's tales than _actually_ going from the cave to the nearby shore.
