I wonder how space will play into all of this?

“Whether you go with the materialists, the idealists, or us incarnationists, the outlines of the story are the same. As far back into the distant past as we can peer, human beings have been developing tools and techniques to impress their will on the natural environment, and they’ve been interacting with each other to create an ever-thicker web of social interaction and cultural meaning.
This may seem tediously obvious, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the decades, it’s the importance of interrogating the obvious.”
The industry revolution was a raft. Some Zen guy said after cross river, drop the raft.
Interesting, but I am not very successful at doing this, I seem to be a hoarder by nature, but I keep it in mind.
Anyways, we entering Information Age- which is not about the US, but globally. So, internet via satellite, is going to change Africa [and everywhere].
In terms space, got to know whether Moon has mineable water- and also if Mars does.

Right. Or maybe progress from a heavy hard to carry raft that has to be abandoned in favor of canoe/kayak that can be strapped to your back after you cross the river. And be available when you reach the next body of water in your hunter/gatherer quest. I.E. the next wave after the industrial revolution; electronics/computers/AI (with all its risks).
