On the other hand, I don't know, whether humans are worth surviving. The species may go the way of dinosaurs. What would be so unusual about it? Other forms of life may be better suited to survive.
Pretty much agree with that sentiment.
As long as humans place more belief in the laws of human nature/superiority rather than the laws of physics, they aren't worth surviving, imo. We've spent generations attempting to avoid or circumvent physical laws and mostly at the expense of every species on this planet, including our own.
I'm not looking to eliminate them myself, mind you. But, I decided long ago to not add to the population by having offspring. This society simply doesn't deserve expansion.
Mankind evolved in the ideal environment for the species. Packaging that environment for off world survival is highly inefficient and wasteful of resources.
I love science fiction stories. But the fact is, humans simply can't survive off this world in any part of this solar systems without being supremely dependent on a technology developed by fallible humans. It's an ultimately self destructive endeavor.
Any off world colony will be reduced to a slavers environment by the homo sapien need to control everything and be more privileged than the rest. (more free, if you will). Someone or group will manipulate control, and the rest will do what you are told if you want to continue existence, their is no possibility of escaping the environmental control support mechanism.
Cripes, it's happening right now on our current planet. We are being conditioned as we speak. Carbon emission tax. How long till simply exhaling benefits someone else who is "in control" elected or not.
Water, is an increasing topic now. Water rates continue to rise. And there is the ongoing threat of rationing. The "people" must pay. Anyone had a reduction? These are fundamental needs to the species survival. Whoever wrangles "control" can dictate if you live, unless their whims are placated.
70% of earth's surface is water. Those with means would rather launch a car into orbit than make that water available for their own species.
The basic fact that gads of resources were expended to orbit a car, for whimsical reasons, rather than focusing on other more impactful projects to actually improve human prosperity and improvement, supports the fact that humans are far too selfish pursuing their own whims than have any regard for the quality of life of their own species.
Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Why is it that doing something you should has far less notoriety than doing something outrageously wasteful, or outlandish? Answer: that's the human way.
What possible reason would an extraterestial want to interface with such a manipulative and domineering species?
Anyway, all it takes is one wandering meteor of sufficient size and the whole evolution thing begins anew.
Carry on!
