Certainly the technical side of civilization would have to be maintained for people to survive in space. Otherwise you die. As for Individual rights I think it will be like the West was, a place where rugged individuals move out when things start getting too crowded. By the time the solar system is too crowded people will be ready to move out to the stars.
Sounds like you have a dim view of humanity. I think otherwise. Life up until people moved information in the form of genes. People move information with ideas making People the second level of evolution. Life moved onto land 400 million years ago and I consider myself lucky to live through a time when life from Earth is now ready to move on to other worlds.

You know this, how?
I have no view of “mankind,” a concept of collectivists I do not share. I’m only interested in individuals, and some of those are noble and good—the rest are trash, but do not matter.
Here’s what “mankind” has done:

Do you admire mankind for that?
I’m am not a theist of any stripe, but definitely do not buy the evolutionary fairy tales. Apparently you’ve been taken in by it, as those who buy into the “global warming” fraud (brought to you by the same “peer reviewed” scientists) do.
By the way, I did not mention “individual rights.” I spoke only about independent individualists, who have no interest in “rights,” granted or ungranted by others, only the truth and their own integrity.
