if she ain ' t fuckin then she flying off a cliff YG <| sep |> Primarily to serve as project organizer and coordinator , who supervises the production and tries to keep a consistent tone and feel to the entire film . <| sep |> Old best friend , realised she was just kinda a selfish shitty person that used people and threw them away after , did drunkenly text her again yesterday though which was probably a mistake <| sep |> First , I apologize for the wall of text . I am truly passionate about the socialpoliticaleconomic dimension of the Mars colonization and got a bit carried away with this one . Finally , an article that mentions the socialpolitical dimension of the mars colonization . We would need to develop a system to handle property disputes . We would need a Mars tribunal to handle petty and violent crimes . That means we ' d probably need a Mars jail , or at least a fair , ethical way to settle scores . That means we would need an offplanet political system , and it ' s not clear what that should look like , or who would get to decide . Social challenges are much broader than establishing a judicial system . I will develop as to why I think so . I think there are two basic aspects in the material functioning of a society , which have to do with how a society guarantees its members ' survival . The first is production How goods are produced , how labor is divided and incentivized . The second is distribution , and has to do with how members of society have access to the goods produced . In this framework , the definition and upholding of law can then be seen as a necessity to stabilize the processes of production and distribution , so that they take place in an orderly and conflictfree way . Education and healthcare would also fall into this third category , but I can ' t go into more details now . I would argue that all societies on Earth have had this basic structure of production distribution , which we study as economics and economic structures are stabilized by norms and laws , which we regard as politics . Thus a martian society would also follow this structure , but in a very different context . On earth , some basic necessities , such as oxygen and water to an extent , are freely available . These resources are not scarce , thus they fall outside of the realm of economics , since they do not have to be produced . On Mars however , all basic resources necessary for survival are very scarce . Thus , oxygen , water and food fall into the sphere of economics they have to be produced from scarce resources they cannot simply be taken from the environment like on Earth . I am pointing this out to show the importance of the economic system that we will have to create this system will be at the root of the long term success of the colony , and if it fails to distribute these basic resources , the martian colonies could turn into a dystopia . Thus the root of the social success of the colonies will depend on how Martians produce the necessary goods for survival in such a hostile environment , and how these goods are then distributed It does not merely depend on upholding laws , tribunals and jails as the authors claims . Now , clearly outlining the economic foundation of Martian colonies is a very broad task . There are many questions to answer . Of course , these questions apply the the latter stages of the colony , when it is no longer at the scientific outpost stage . how will the production be divided amongst the population ? who does what ? how will work be incentivized and rewarded ? Will workers receive wages ? how will access to basic necessities air , water , shelter . be regulated ? Will these goods be privately owner , and one would have to purchase them , or will access to them be regarded as a basic human right ? These questions may seem pretty obvious but I think they are extremely important . For instance , let ' s assume we answer them following a Capitalist logic . Goods are produced by capital owners of capital , who employ people to produce goods . This work is rewarded by wages . Then , these goods are sold on a market in exchange for money obtained through wages . Now , imagine that your working conditions become extremely harsh for some reason or another . You refuse work , but loose your wage , and thus you loose access to the basic resources you need to survive namely , oxygen , water and food . Thus , in a purely capitalistic mode of production the workers ' survival would be directly tied to their employers and so much more than on Earth without them , they would not be able to survive . This is why I think some basic necessities would have to be freely accessible as a fundamental human right . But this involves setting up an entity which would regulate the distribution of these goods . But we still face the same problem this entity will directly control the means of survival of the entire colony . Here , direct democratic control , as mentioned by Elon , could be seen as a solution . I got a bit carried away with this comment , but I hope that it will enable a constructive discussion .
