Great article. I like your creation of Global Favela.
Humanity will never live on Mars or the Moon long-term. It will all end in failure. Nor will we ever be multi-planetary. But not because of what you outlined in your excellent writing above, but because the Bible shows it to be so.
We would be better off if Musk focused his fortune on helping make what you write about come true, sans the space colonizing stuff.
It's not explicit. It's implied. If humanity was meant to be living elsewhere, Revelation for one thing wouldn't have centered around this planet we call home. Jesus will rule over earth as King. And since Jesus is God and God is Ruler of everything, then if humanity was spread across multiple planets/moons, then God's Word would have said so.
At least that is how I see it. It's the same reason why I don't believe in aliens and see everything as the spiritual world we live in but don't usually see. UFOs are either advanced aircraft or that spiritual world bleeding over where it can be seen by us. Angels and demons are real after all.
There are things still hidden to us, of course. But the more that I read the Bible, the less hidden it all becomes.
I consistently admire your work. This piece inspires a lot of thoughtful chewing on the concept of duty. I fear that the concept is entirely alien to contemporary culture, no one recognizes it, no one does it. How did we get here? Is it just an inevitable consequence of human nature, have we been manipulated by combinations of evil men, is it the work of Satan? How does this all turn out? While I struggle to remain hopeful, I’m pretty sure there will be blood.
I think the financial pressures imposed by taxation paired with things I’ve written about before, like the society wrecking destruction of Detroit and cities like it, has done much to bring this about. Hard to think of duty when it’s difficult to be rooted anywhere and there are next to no modern examples
That is a much tougher question. I’m not sure there is a way now, though trying to regain some of the old spirit and firms while learning to fight for it, particularly with political involvement, lawfare, propaganda, etc would help
The very act of farming itself leads itself to this attitude. One must have knowledge gained over a long period of time, many generations, to know how a certain piece of land will respond to various circumstances.

Oh, and thank you for all the book references.
We shall see. Why dies the Bible say we can’t build bases on the moon? I haven’t heard that before.
Thanks!

Taxation is an instrumentality. Detroit is the result of its employment. How do you interrupt the process?

Here is something by another writer I follow that may provide a partial answer
