Elon has some sharp (and well deserved) words for Clott Adams.

Malthusians believe that progress is moot because population will rise to meet any advancement. No matter how good it can get, it's wasted effort and risks losing control.
Elon believed that once. Still thinks he can captain his own ship.
He surmised the only way was to leave and start over. Still believes that, but the rulers want to rule in space too.
Now Elon sees that he will never get off the planet believing them. They told him he would be able to leave, if he helped them and didn't ask questions about what would happen to us. He sees that Malthusians cease progress not for benevolent aims, but to create a permanent control grid. That grid will be force upon his escape pod and he will never be free if it is allowed to remain in control.
Elon just wants to sit by a tree.

That's just life though. Even life in a petri dish will expand and collapse to capacity. The stress of capacity induces change, or extinction. We need to diversify to other locations (even cyberspace). How you do that should be up to you, not them.

Leaving the cave and not returning to help free the rest, would be the exact opposite of heroism. A true captain makes every effort to save the ship, and if it cannot be saved, goes down with it. Selfish cowards would abandon ship.
When I get a new fish, I quarantine it. This way there's no parasites or dis-ease being spread to other healthy aquariums.
Elon would not be able to leave sterile.
God is the captain of my ship, or at least I try.
Nice number. Feelsgoodman. I'm glad I'm not on the carousel anymore.
*It all started with Glenn Frey wanting to do something strange, just to see if he and the band could. So they turned to a hazy and nightmarish novel written by John Fowles in 1965, called The Magus, where a depressive yet eager young wanderer with nothing finds himself charmed by a wealthy Greek recluse whose powers of splendor and decadence end up detaching the young man from reality as he knows it, resulting in tragedy and loss.
The same novel is said to have inspired David Fincher’s 1997 film starring Michael Douglas, The Game. *
