I’m not woke or anti-woke. I’m not left or right. I’m not liberal or illiberal. None of those categories matter any longer.

I’m anti-extinction. And what this means is that we must engage in a bold, pointless quest that will take a billion years. It’s conquer the galaxy or die. This is not a lark or a joke. Evidence suggests this sort of endeavor is the only thing that keeps humans going. Get started, or die. It’s our choice.
