Epistemic status: Flippant, but do you have a better plan?
Step 1: Land a mining research robot in a lunar polar crater
Step 2: Start 2 robotic lunar strip mines
Step 3: Launch unprocessed lunar resources into lunar orbit
Step 4: Manufacture fuel & solar panels in 2 lunar-orbit robotic factories
Step 5: Invent digital people
Step 6: Invent harmonious multispecies egalitarian democracy
Step 7: Crowd lunar orbit with computers containing digital people
Step 8: Crowd solar orbit with digital people
Step 9: Send robotic factory expeditions to 2 exoplanets
Step 10: Let digital people live on exoplanet outposts
Step 11: For each resource being shipped to a exoplanet, substitute a local source
Step 12: End war
Step 13: End racism
Step 14: Solve physics
Step 15: Invent all technologies
Step 16: Solve entropy
Each of these steps should only take a finite number of decades, thus we will end poverty & X-risk in finite time :)
