I had opined that if we colonized Mars that it would be a fantastic chance to experiment with new traditions like Mavellonialism, individuator-anarchism, constitutional republicanism, militarizing and arming the masses, free market economizing and developing a high civilization of supercittizens.
I stand by those observations. One cautionary: it is a rule of human nature, and perhaps universal nature on other worlds that it does not take long for these bad influences to spring up: nonindividuation, groupism, institutionalizing social customs, routines and procedures. Stratification of people into classes cannot be far behind.
We must learn good values each generation, and fight to be good, loving, free and wise each generation for as alive angels with the hearts of beasts, we are deprived of sufficient and sufficiently powerful humane instincts for thing to be humane, ordered and well-run ad infinitum.
