Mars is not enough. We need to spread beyond our solar system. A single star same as a single planet cannot be an allowed to be single point of failure.
To go beyond we need advancement in science: computer science, physics, biology, psychology, etc
To do that we need to foster new ways of thinking, new paradigms, impossible assumptions.
None of it is possible without psychedelic experience of sorts. Not all can spend 20 years meditating, not all meditators with 40’years of experience bring anything meaningful into this world. Same way not all experienced psychonauts have experiences or understanding useful to humanity (and life) at large.
We need to bridge this gap, join the tools, and break through the vail of ignorance.
