This book, featuring the photojournalist's work, included many images from the civil rights movement and documented the relocation and stripping of property from Japanese Canadians during World War II. The speaker highly recommended it.

But he was a Canadian, a Japanese Canadian, who went through the exact same thing there in Canada, where Japanese Canadians were also relocated and stripped of property and put in these sort of, you know, siloed areas, these ghettos, kind of. And I had no idea that that was going on there. I didn't know that. Yeah. Really, really interesting. I brought his book. It's a book of his work, which includes a lot of images from that time and also from the civil rights stuff called Enemy Alien. Highly recommend it. Tameo Wakayama.

Episode: CLASSIC: Moving to Mars with Marshall Brain

It was discussed as a thought experiment, exploring the challenges and possibilities of creating a self-sustaining colony on Mars, including the technological, logistical, and socioeconomic aspects.

"

And then someone that we know personally wrote up a very long thought experiment about what this colony might actually look like.

That doesn't have anything to do with the geophysics of it or anything like that. It's just when you think about all the stuff that we consider normal today, and that is everything from scotch tape to microprocessors, to move all that manufacturing capability and knowledge to Mars, that's chapter 13 of the book.

It reminds me in a way of that old time travel question where people say, you know, I would love to travel back in time to the 1300s and I would be like this intellectual giant and this demigod. But the average person does not have the knowledge, much less the means to create so many of these common things, you know, probably including, to your early example, Marshall, Scotch tape.

But as soon as you open your mind to, well, what are they going to do once they land and the desert island thing is really a funny way to think about it. The number of questions is gigantic, thousands and thousands of questions you have to start going through.

So if you're going to create a complete backup of human activity on Mars, if you're going to try to do that, then you mentioned chipmaking as an example. Chipmaking is probably the most advanced thing humans are doing right now.

It was discussed as a thought experiment about the challenges of establishing a Martian colony, including technological, logistical, and socioeconomic issues.

And it really makes you think because, look, this is a huge and increasingly crucial step in the expansion of the human species.

That doesn't have anything to do with the geophysics of it or anything like that. It's just when you think about all the stuff that we consider normal today, and that is everything from scotch tape to microprocessors, to move all that manufacturing capability and knowledge to Mars, that's chapter 13 of the book.

It's imaginable, but it definitely would require a huge amount of thought and logistics and training.

And that's why it's so much fun to talk about. But no, but really, how do you incentivize people that even have these skill sets to go on this dangerous, dicey expedition?
