He is defending the colonization of Mars which shows he cares about it.

>like that you need a business model that provides actual returns or strategic benefits to investors if you want to spend trillions of dollars on a project.

One, it's not trillions if you do it the space x way, more like billions, and two, the benefit is knowing your species has a better chance at surviving and exploring the stars. It can be literally just the feeling you get is your return investment for the investors. Yeah, there will be piece of shit selfish people that try to defend being ''rationally'' selfish. (hurr its human nature to be selfish that means its perfectly ok just like killing someone when youre angry) but there will always be the people that see the bigger picture ( while also understanding that there is a better chance than not that the future will generally be better based on current evidence that now is better than before based on technology, thus is worth preserving your fellow man as a species. ) and have compassion for your future generations and these will be the people that help us advance as a species.

Real ( but kinda sloppy, I'm getting tired) arguments aside, you are a selfish motherfucker, and that doesn't make you the devil but I wish you would just say I don't personally care about future generations or my species so we could have ended this way back. This was fun arguing something I'm passionate about with someone that has a very different opinion than me. I'm glad I had my beliefs challenged but I'm exhausted and don't give a shit anymore, you wont ever help anyone else out in your life because it doesn't benefit you and I really think Mars colonization is an important, worthy step in the survival of our species so we can advance with a better chance of not becoming extinct, we're never going to get along or change each others opinions, go ahead and send some more shit but others will have to keep arguing.
