> Plan for 10,000 years out, not tomorrow.

I'm happy to. But then, like most people, I'm impatient, so I'll draw a second plan that ensures I get to see at least some of the cool stuff before I die, and then I'll get annoyed when this plan isn't followed.

Galactic timescales are large. Human lifespans are tiny.

Notably, 10,000 years is longer than all of recorded human history.

It’s a bit of a pipe dream to think we’d plausibly be able to follow through consistently on anything even 1% that long right now.
