Sorry to burst that bubble, but there are more rare mineral resources in a single m-type astroid than all that humans have accessed in the Holocene. Recovering a single m-type is all it takes to make all of human history to this point appear as a joke of piddly nonsense like a baby playing with sticks. Fuckwit flag planting is nonsense like a baby playing with sticks too. Even some near earth asteroids likely contain enormous wealth. Japan is the only country with the intelligence to have pursued this so far. Accessing this wealth would obsolete the inbred halfwit oligarchy of inherited wealth as they have no real merit or competence. Meritocratic achievement is toxic to their existence. Thus why only Japan pursues the endeavor. They are the only westernized country that has actually solved the inherited wealth cancer for a meritocratic balance. You do not hear about their celebrity billionaire fuckwits because no one was born into the role of gross inherited wealth.
Is it that Japan doesn’t have people born into obscene wealth or is it that, being english speakers, we just don’t hear about them?
Also, maybe we should be careful about increasing the mass of the planet. I’m sure a little here and there wouldn’t be too much of a problem… but you know… the same is true of combustion engines…
Lol. No Japan has an enormous inheritance tax and cap that prevents it all together. It was intentionally created to stop the suicide of any society that lacks meritocracy.
Resource scarcity is behind every injustice on the planet. Stopping the scarcity problem brings everyone up to a higher standard.
I mean, sure, an inheritance tax curtails the most egregious aspect of an informal aristocracy. But it’s a pernicious thing. Creeps in. Who your parents know, the school you go to, the district you grew up in, the jobs available after you graduate. I’m pretty damn skeptical of any claim to true meritocracy.
It is every military. That is what makes a good military; meritocracy above all else. The success many countries experienced after total war was due to weeding out those that lack merits. Nepotism is the same problem. It is fine for the lowers castes of society, but it is cancer for the rest. It stops the flow of money effectively pulling it from circulation and bringing everyone down.
