MODERATORS
I uh... Idk, I never thought Bezos was a genius or anything, but I figured he must've been at least moderately above average in intelligence for Amazon to take off initially like it did (I do realize that all the growth for the past 2 decades and more is unrelated to him, but the actual founding part of a startup is somewhat... dependent on the founders)
But I don't think it takes a particularly smart person to figure out that we can't handle 3 more orders of magnitude of humans consuming resources that are mostly available on planet Earth. Average person should definitely figure it out. And he owns a space company. How the fuck does he not realize how infeasible it is?
Did you miss the part where he said a trillion humans in the solar system instead of just on earth?
