We are made to expand. Reaching mars and colonizing it would be a great endeavor that would put war aside. We like to fight, let's fight over abilities and engineering

It would not put war aside; no way. How many years has there been an international effort regarding space exploration? How come all of the richest men live in the united states of america and have government contracts?
Who dominates the war supplies market? Would Warren Buffet like to weigh in on this question? Guaranteed he knows. Guaranteed that organization has developed custom artificial intelligence.
I do like rich mankind when they collaborate to try to save the Earth. Seems smart. I think the nature of that beast is they fall into the corporate trap and then are forced to make decisions by the totally washed, overly groomed, narcissistic human shark population.
After we get rid of organized psychopath, the regular population remains made of good people. High achievement are good because they unleash the will to find solutions and those solutions then can be applied to other uses. Most of the tech we have home today comes from war research or landing on the moon. Is it useful? Yes growing is useful, we do not live to have a drink at the bar and socializing.
I didnt say anyone does. Tolerance of other types who do believe in dont do harm seems important.
How smarter is AI compared to an human?
I was in advanced programs as a youth; they still called me diarrhea, i had teachers who were openly racist to me, kids ostracizing etcetera because i was white and eager to please (tall poppy).
Yes capitalism and freedom require a civilized population. Every system turns to shit with the wrong people around. Go and find a place where you are surrounded by people at your level. Mixing people is a demonic thing
Whatever. Stop burning my head and body.
Civilization to me means that i can live without being attacked.
'Made to expand' please cross reference lemming population in nature (there was a cartoon movie with lemmings and mind control).
Wouldn't the first person/country to reach get to put a flag there? Is that, like, an important thing?
Seems incredibly stupid to 'shoot a wad too early' just to do it.
Boredom is really a thing. May as well destroy the earth because no other option than to either be lemming or stand out in history some way (insert bumper sticker about well behaved women rarely making history).
I don't have the complete solution to this; i highly doubt any evolved organism anywhere (light years away or otherwise) does. Sex is fun. Socialization can happen without a higher purpose.
Having children because religious and cultural expectations has always seemed wrong. Maybe because i have been mind controlled since birth.
