Having a Frontier solves problems. Where there is a Frontier to explore there is always a flourishing of human thinking. New ideas, Capitalism, Entrepreneurship and invention are unlocked when you can practice that freedom to explore. It opens up vistas to think and imagine.

Maybe some of the current meaningless and regressive behavior & actions of our species in the world are attributed to the loss of a Frontier.
