The Plan

[Commander Zander]

Epistemic status: Flippant, but do you have a better plan?

Step 1: Land a mining research robot in a lunar polar crater

Step 2: Start 2 robotic lunar strip mines

• Humanity should have 2 of everything, for competition & redundancy

Step 3: Launch unprocessed lunar resources into lunar orbit

• Ultimately these will be lifted via 2 lunar space elevators

Step 4: Manufacture fuel & solar panels in 2 lunar-orbit robotic factories

Step 5: Invent digital people

• Multiple ways to do this

Step 6: Invent harmonious multispecies egalitarian democracy

Step 7: Crowd lunar orbit with computers containing digital people

Step 8: Crowd solar orbit with digital people

Step 9: Send robotic factory expeditions to 2 exoplanets

• These will require ongoing cargo resupply shipments for a while

Step 10: Let digital people live on exoplanet outposts

Step 11: For each resource being shipped to a exoplanet, substitute a local source

Step 12: End war

Step 13: End racism

Step 14: Solve physics

Step 15: Invent all technologies

Step 16: Solve entropy

Each of these steps should only take a finite number of decades, thus we will end poverty & X-risk in finite time :)
