      Yeah, I think if we survive as a species for long enough, it will happen. Unfortunately, I see that “if” as less likely lately.

      One of the interesting things I found in the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson was the first mars settlers trying to create a new type of society without many of the problems the left behind.
