A medical procedure used to do what your body already does.

Don't fucking get a colon cleansing, your colon cleans itself anyway.

Space Colonization Theory

The framework for understanding permanent human settlement beyond Earth—the rationales, methods, ethics, and implications of establishing self-sustaining communities in space. Space Colonization Theory addresses why we would colonize (survival backup, resources, expansion), how colonies should be structured (governance, economics, social organization), and ethical questions (rights, terraforming, impact on potential extraterrestrial life). It draws on colonial history (with all its warnings), systems theory, and speculative design. Unlike exploration (visiting), colonization is about staying—making homes elsewhere, becoming a multiplanetary species. The theory grapples with what that means for human identity, politics, and destiny.

Space Colonization Theory "Mars colonies shouldn't repeat Earth's colonial mistakes. That's Space Colonization Theory—not just how to get there, but how to live there justly. Governance, resource distribution, cultural preservation—these matter as much as life support. Colonization without ethics is just conquest with a new name."
