>If I thought that Musk's effort could benefit from an infusion of cash I would have organized it

Uh huh.

>As it happens he's limited by other things

Being some kind of weird multicellular invasive species that looks human enough to get VC funding but isn't quite human enough to have a relationship with his kids. Also, rolling forward his failed/stalled business ventures into whatever is hot enough to be currently valuable. Busy man(thing)

>That attitude is how you start building up more and more tech debt until you trap yourself into extinction

I literally watched a video of Space X engineers demonstrating their space junk tracking tech, and talking about how seriously they take it. This seems like a you problem, the science and the people doing the work are already concerned. I don't see what you get out of being flippant about it.

>so I sit back and enjoy the view of our civilization slowly climbing the Kardashev scale.

Is that what plato's projecting on his cave wall these days?
