But everything could be symbolic. The flood could mean something like "the flood of stupid that debt based money creates" - not saying it means that for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Well, I should back up and say that I think everything literally is symbolic - my hand in front of me is symbolic of intention or ability outside of space time reality.
I'd love to go colonize another planet. Sign me up, I want on the ship. But I also really like the idea of terraforming everything in this solar system - and that's probably millions of objects. First, we could build and orbital ring around the earth. If each segment is fitted so it makes a continuous ring all the way, the fuel cost of maintaining an orbit can be cancelled by every part pushing outward. And if that doesn't work, then we could move a big asteroid into a resonant orbit with the ring, at a higher orbit, and its decay will equal the decay that would otherwise be incurred by the ring. On such a ring, gravity would be so close to surface gravity that you wouldn't be able to notice the difference, even though you're in space - because its the ring balancing falling with velocity, and you're just on it. You could walk around like normal. We could do this with Venus too, and it should also be possible in orbit of the gas giants - you just have the ring at an altitude where you feel normal earth gravity.
For the gas giants, though, we'll need a solar lense to get enough light. The way I envision it, it will be several lenses working together to open apertures in the dyson swarm to focus light only on the rings we've built. 99% of the sun can be occluded by satellites using almost all visible light. They would probably use it to mine bitcoin. We'll need to lengthen the block interval time. I imagine trillions of people living in independent solar habitat states, and the inhabitants of the ring worlds just pay for them to adjust their orbit to let light focus on the ringworld. The focusing will allow us to expand to every large body orbiting the sun, even out in the Kuiper belt. Those icy bodies out there can melt and become oceans. Distance doesn't matter... At some point in the future.
