If space travel is eventually perfected, the people on the fringes/outposts will have to work hard to maintain survival while those who stay on planet earth will increase their efficiency and, consequently, their entropy.
All I know is that during the time of small family farms in the U.S. it is doubtful that anyone working them had to have pectoral implants put into their body. They EARNED them (Please avoid my anachrosticity and disregard the fact that medical science hadn't perfected that type of surgery at that time).
With all this saved time and energy I will have time to perfect my skills of ESP and astral travel thereby negating the need to earn money for yearly vacations.
