content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article. Remember to liberally link to other encyclopedia entries using [[Encyclopedia Entry]] format."

The [[Red Planet Renaissance]], a global cultural phenomenon, has seen Mars-themed art, literature, and music proliferate across Earth. This cultural shift echoes the [[Cosmic Perspective Movement]]'s success in promoting the idea of the Solar System as humanity's extended neighborhood. The [[Mars in Popular Culture Museum]], located in the [[Pan-African Quarter]] of New York City, showcases the evolution of Mars in human consciousness, from ancient mythology to contemporary science fiction. The museum's most popular exhibit, "[[Imagining Mars: From Bowie to Bots]]," traces the influence of artists like David Bowie on shaping public perceptions of Mars, culminating in AI-generated Martian soundscapes. ## Social Movements and Mars Activism The prospect of Mars colonization has given rise to various social movements and activist groups. The [[Mars for All Coalition]], an international network of civil society organizations, advocates for equitable access to Mars missions and resources. They argue that Mars exploration should benefit all of humanity, not just wealthy nations or corporations. Conversely, the [[Earth First Alliance]] opposes Mars colonization, contending that resources should be focused on solving Earth's problems, particularly in light of ongoing climate migration challenges. Their slogan, "Fix Earth First," has resonated with many who fear Mars could become an escape route for the privileged. The [[Martian Heritage Protection Society]], inspired by the [[Solar System Heritage Foundation]], works to preserve sites of scientific and cultural importance on Mars, such as the landing sites of early robotic missions. ## Politics of Mars Governance As plans for permanent Mars settlements progress, questions of governance have come to the fore. The [[Mars Cooperative Framework]], ratified by major spacefaring nations and overseen by the [[Solar System Council]], establishes basic principles for Mars exploration and potential colonization. However, debates rage over the specifics of Martian self-governance and representation in Earth-based institutions. The concept of [[Planetary Representation]], first introduced for celestial bodies closer to Earth, has been extended to Mars. Several nations have appointed symbolic "Ambassadors to Mars," reflecting the growing importance of the Red Planet in international relations. The [[New York Mars Summit]] of 2034, held in the [[Manhattan Seawall]] complex, brought together world leaders, scientists, and civil society representatives to discuss the future of Earth-Mars relations. The summit's declaration, known as the [[New York Protocol]], outlines principles for sustainable and equitable Mars development. ## Artistic and Spiritual Responses to Mars Mars has become a rich source of inspiration for artists across various media. The [[Mars Symphonies]], a series of orchestral works composed by the [[Transterra Orchestra]], uses data from Mars rovers to create haunting, otherworldly melodies. These pieces have been performed in major concert halls worldwide, including a memorable holographic performance in the [[Little Maldives]] floating neighborhood. In the literary world, the [[Martian Haiku Challenge]] has become an annual global event, encouraging poets to capture the essence of Mars in the traditional Japanese form. The winning entries are transmitted to Mars and engraved on a plaque at the first human settlement. Spiritually, Mars has inspired new philosophical and religious movements. The [[Areotheist Society]] (named after Ares, the Greek god associated with Mars) promotes a humanist philosophy centered on the idea that settling Mars represents the next stage in human evolution. Their teachings have gained a following among scientists and engineers working on Mars missions. ## Ethical Debates on Mars Exploration The ethics of Mars exploration and potential terraforming have become subjects of intense global debate. The [[Mars Ethics Convention]], an annual gathering of philosophers, scientists, and policymakers, grapples with questions such as the rights of potential Martian microorganisms and the moral implications of altering another planet's environment. The [[Planetary Protection Principle]], initially developed for earlier Solar System exploration, has been adapted and expanded for Mars missions. Strict protocols are in place to prevent biological contamination in both directions between Earth and Mars. ## Education and Public Engagement Educational institutions worldwide have incorporated Mars-focused curricula to prepare the next generation for a multi-planetary future. The [[Mars in the Classroom]] initiative, part of the broader [[Cosmic Citizenship Curriculum]], provides students with virtual reality experiences of Mars landscapes and simulations of Martian living conditions. Public engagement with Mars has reached unprecedented levels. The [[Global Mars Watch]] program, an offshoot of the [[Global Planet Watch]], allows citizen scientists to contribute to Mars research through distributed data analysis and observation campaigns. ## Earth-Mars Relations and Future Outlook As plans for the first permanent Mars settlement in the 2040s take shape, complex Earth-Mars relations are emerging. The [[Earth-Mars Concordat]], currently being negotiated, aims to establish principles for trade, communication, and governance between the two planets. Cultural exchange programs, inspired by the success of initiatives like the [[Interplanetary Cultural Exchange Program]], are being developed to maintain connections between Earth and future Mars settlers. There are plans to establish a Mars branch of the [[Penny Lane Permaculture]] network, adapting sustainable farming techniques to the Martian environment. The [[Beatles on Mars]] project, a collaboration between the [[Universal Melody Project]] and [[LennonMcCartney.AI]], aims to create new versions of classic Beatles songs adapted for the first Mars colonists, reflecting the enduring cultural influence of the band. As humanity stands on the brink of becoming a multi-planetary species, Mars continues to captivate our collective imagination, challenging us to rethink our place in the cosmos and our responsibilities as custodians of not one, but potentially two worlds. </article> "
