Prediction text

Humanity becoming a truly multiplanetary species is strictly an era BEYOND the singularity (post-2045) — Kurzweil asserts only after humanity has 'exhausted the ability of here on Earth to create more intelligence' will the focus shift definitively to planetary expansion. Stands in philosophical contrast to Musk/Altman's concurrent off-world vision. | Relative pacing of AGI achievement vs sustained off-world colonies

Key catalyst: Relative pacing of AGI achievement vs sustained off-world colonies

Watch events: Mars-colonization cadence vs AGI-achievement pacing

Resolution evidence

Status: pending

Kurzweil 2024 Guardian interview, LifeArchitect.ai updates maintain post-singularity sequencing. Contrasts Musk 1M-Mars-2050, Altman space-2035.

No downstream cascades — this prediction is a leaf in the dependency graph.

What if this resolves?

Clamp this prediction TRUE or FALSE and run a counterfactual Gibbs sample. Surfaces the predictions whose marginals shift most under that assumption.
