Symbiotic Expansion
The Finite Inventory
Civilization rests on a finite timeline. With current extraction methods we have roughly 50 years of oil, 100 years of uranium, and 150 years of coal. Even the planet's internal heat is a finite resource driven by primordial cooling. We are racing against a thermodynamic clock.
Continuity of Life
The goal is the continuity of life in harmony with Earth. Modern society's issues pose threats more pressing than those numerical constraints. We must leverage these dense energy sources to build a bridge to a brighter future for everyone.
The Planetary Engine
Long-term expansion requires energy on a cosmological scale. By responsibly extracting geothermal heat, we align with the geodynamo that generates Earth's own magnetic shield. We must utilize the power and tools available to us to secure our timeline, explore other worlds, and free humanity to pursue the greater truths of the universe.
"We seek not to conquer the universe, but to understand it, and to ensure that life remains to witness it."
