I find videos about space colonization pretty inspiring. Of course, space colonization would ideally be paired with some level of suffering abolition, so we aren’t spreading needless suffering to other planets. Space colonization could help with political discord, since people with different ideas of a “good society” can band together and peacefully disperse through the solar system. If you think traveling the world to experience different cultures is fun, I expect visiting other planets to experience different cultures will be even better. On the AI front, rumor has it that scaling is slowing down… that could grant more time for alignment work, and increase the probability that an incredible future will come to pass.
