Inventive societies are libertarian societies.
Really? All these folk have to block the camera on Dr. Zubrin? Boo
So inspiring ! There's an infinite sky of possibilities ! Thanks for sharing passion and vision, humans on Mars asap please !
Inspiring introduction this year, Dr. Zubrin. Thank you for all you do to advance our society towards a space faring one. It's amazing to think, within my lifetime, going to Mars as a private citizen may be a reality.
Watched this after seeing Dr Zubrin on Triggernometry. Both were very interesting. A couple of points occurred to me as I was watching …
On the subject of freedom being the mother of invention: prototype steam-engines were known in Ancient Greece – but they were mere novelties and toys. There was no motivation to create the kind of engines that were produced in Britain centuries later, because Ancient Greece had slave labour.
"Humans are not consumers of scarce resources, we are producers of resources" – that was brilliant! It's the inverse of the doom-mongering narrative that predominates in our culture – humans as "mindless consumers" munching away at the earth until there is nothing left. Dr Zubrin's optimistic message should be taught to our young people!
