Born too early to explore the stars

I think you misspelled "Born too early to slave your life away in an extractive space colony shithole owned by a space fief, thank fuck".

Space was always a place of wonder, curiosity, beauty, and new beginnings. Though I suppose it was fruitless to hope humanity would leave their crap on Earth.

Space late stage capitalism and war, anyone? Hopefully not...

Of course it is.

As my zen teacher once said “You can leave your car here when you go, but you can’t leave your karma”.

This was when we were having lunch together and I was telling him about my plans to move to another city. Without my saying it, he picked up on what my secret hope was: that all the problems plaguing me here wouldn’t follow me.

Yes, it is very naive to think going elsewhere will change our nature.
