    The traits needed to conquer a homogenous biosphere are not the same traits needed to conquered the vacuum of space.

      Again, show your work. What traits are those and how did you come up with the list? And why do those traits only exist in specific types of societies?

      To contrast such a claim, the first nation to reach space was Nazi Germany. The USSR also did a fine job of conquering the vacuum of space under Khrushchev. And, no sane person would look at Khrushchev’s USSR and describe it a system which “maximize[s] the potential of all individuals”. In a more modern context, China is doing a pretty good job in space exploration, having landed a rover on the moon and built their own space station. And, at the risk of provoking the wrath of the tankies, China isn’t exactly a free and open nation.

      So again, I’m just not seeing a basis for such a claim. And the example we do have, human history, seems to disagree with it.
