Ice Ages, World War III, and a Mars Base for Civilization

Earth's climate also changes pretty radically over the course of like, say, ten thousand years.

Um, you know, it can shift from being extremely hot to extremely cold and turn into sn-snowball.

Gone through tons of ice ages, right? Yeah.

You can really go down a deep rabbit hole if you read about ice ages. So interesting. That's crazy.

That, that, how much Earth's climate has changed, and even where the, where the magnetically where the poles are have, has shifted over time.

Well, we're technically in sort of an ice age right now, although it depends on what you call an ice age.

Um- What happened to global warming? Wait, but yeah, how so?

Like what defines an ice age at that point? Global warming's not like cool anymore.

You lost it. It's, it's, it's a deep rabbit hole.

The, uh, I think there was probably something significant that happened at the, um, in, in the last ice age because we don't see any evidence of writing.

We-- So when I say I'm using ice age in the colloquial term, like, um, of, of like wh-when, when, when was it very snowy, uh, and, and where, where the glaciers came down far and where, where summer was short and winter was very long,

and that was about ten thousand years ago.

Um, so some-something happened around, I think, around that ice age that because we, we see no writing.

How do you- No, no writing before that ice age, and we, we start to see writing pop up in multiple places on Earth after that, after the most recent colloquially termed ice age.

We don't know, but there's likely to be another dark ages, which my guess is there probably will be at some point, particularly if there's a third world war.

Then we wanna make sure that there's enough of us, of a seed of human civilization somewhere else to bring civilization back and perhaps, uh, shorten the length of the dark ages.

You know, I think that's why it's, it's important to get a self-sustaining base, um, ideally on Mars because Mars is far enough away from Earth that a c- that a war on Earth, the Mars base might survive.

It's more likely to survive than a moon base.

But I think a moon base and a Mars base that, um, that could perhaps help regenerate life back here on Earth would be really important and to get that done before a possible World War III.

You know, last, last century we had two massive world wars, three if you count the Cold War.

I think it's unlikely that we'll never have another world war again.

Um, there probably will be at some point.

Or if we have another one, it'll be the last.

Yeah, it, it just could be radioactive rubble.

Well, if you say given enough time, will it be? Most likely.

This is, has been our pattern in the past.
