I was just thinking of this today. I have always loved and believed it’s inevitable that humans expand into the cosmos. Colonize planets, explore, and all that.

But now I’m considering that humans are imperfect. Conflict, corruption, and suffering seem unfortunately unavoidable as humans.

So is it even moral for us to be building toward this galactic future? Assuming we can actually get to the point of colonizing planets, yes we open the door for an unimaginable exponential population boom.

But we also know humans are flawed, and thus also open the door for unimaginably more conflict and suffering.
