Like the preppers during COVID, they’ll LARP it for like two weeks, then get all up in arms that it’s too cold or too hard, give up and then blame the nearest scapegoat for why it sucked.
I say we double or nothing. Promise em like 100 billion in funding and let them go build a cloud city on Venus. First one to stay a night there gets the prize and to shape their narcissistic technoutopia how ever they see fit.
Yeah, I really don't fucking understand these guys. If they spent only a fraction of the resources they spend on prepping on actually building an equitable society, they could just live normally and even walk down the street without fear of getting shot at.
Instead they build dank underground bunkers where they'll just have to live out their days like some paranoid Howard Hughes copy.
