Which seems inevitable, will force humans to make use of all that unused brain we choose to ignore.

What makes me shake my head is that nobody is willing to admit that we humans will not be able to survive anywhere else in our physical form, requires too many resources to mimic earth conditions suitable for our survival. Just not doable and yet we spend billions upon billions in pursuit of such goals.

Really, how practical is any of the space program? We look to that and refuse to make life livable for those of us on this planet now. Makes me think we've already gone, collectively, insane. We just refuse to admit it.
