Dealing With Messes And Idiots

Sub-Saharan Africa is a mess.  It's inhabited by mystic ridden people.  (This also goes for the Environmentalist Movement.)

Imagine for a moment what the state of Humanity would be if the ancestors of the Europeans, Asians, and the Native Americans couldn't leave Africa until the inhabitants of that miserable continent were organized into a single continental civilization.  Humans in general didn't wait until they were organized as a single continental civilization before going out to explore and settle the rest of the world.

Another point to consider is that people who were happy with life in their homelands didn't seek new lives for themselves and their families here in the New World.  The supposedly “happy” (read brainwashed) inhabitants of a so-called “type one” planetary civilization aren't going to pack up and leave to settle another planet, such as Mars, let alone embark on a multi-generational voyage across interstellar space.

The Universe as a whole is ours if we want it.  We only have to shove the power tripping vermin out of the way.
