What? No I don't. Some people want to spend money on sports or making our planet sustainable before doing anything else. I think that's fine. It doesn't interest me, however, so I'm looking at this other thing. We can coexist without having to insult each other.

How many times in history did necessity create efficiencies versus ambition?

Fair, my first point was poorly worded. People who think space is the best and can’t imagine anyone else thinking it’s not the best are still self centered and lacking in empathy imo.

Literally all the time? There’s another saying, “necessity is the mother of invention”.
