I can’t think of any other person so very antithetical to the very concept of love as Trump. I suspect that emotion is as alien to him as a smartphone is to an ant.

Down bad son?
“This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years!”

Conversely, there are many other people from his time that definitely did exist and verifiably so. I have a bronze coin minted in Judea by Pontius Pilatus. I can look at it, I can touch it, it’s real. Even as an avowed agnostic, I see no reason why Jesus couldn’t have been a real person (minus the miracles that were almost certainly later additions).
I do agree that in the grand scale of things we’re actually very early. That alone would explain a lot.
Unfortunately we’ve pretty much used up all easily available resources. Anyone ‘starting over’ would have a much harder time getting the things they need to really get the ball rolling again.
When humans first discovered gold they practically only had to scoop it out of rivers. You’ll be hard pressed to find any streams with such appreciable production anywhere in the world today.
Nah, I’m willing to bet there is actual physical life in our very own solar system (apart from all life on Earth, of course). Europa’s oceans for example have a decently high probability of hosting microbial life.
Of course, discovering primitive life all around us would be a bad sign the great filter is still ahead of us instead of behind us…
The most boring one: most species off themselves before they fully get off their starting planet. We will go the same way. Take your pick from climate change, war, pandemic, … or even a combination of several!
Exactly this. In ancient Roman times, emperor Caracalla was infamous for having many of his enemies outright killed. One of these was the brother of a soldier who was assigned to his personal guard at the Rhine border regions. When Caracalla got off his horse for a piss, he got a gladius thrusted between his ribs. For all his might and power, he very much brought that on himself.
Sometimes people like that soldier are the last line of justice in the world.
I’ve seen at least one video where a snake of similar size manages to depress a door handle and gets it to open, although that might’ve been lucky coincidence.
As for my own snakes, they definitely grasp the concept of a sliding door and how its mechanics work, since they try to get it open regularly. That’s why they sell locks for those.
Don’t care, hug kitty!
And yet when I run around the market naked while fapping, they lock me up, while this guy gets a freaking statue…
I think SOMA made it pretty clear we’re never uploading jack shit, at best we’re making a copy for whom it’ll feel as if they’ve been uploaded, but the original remains behind as well.
Where does one learn this ancient power?
As an aside, there is a theory called the “bicameral mind” which posits that this internal dialogue is the source of religion. In ancient or rather even prehistoric times, it’s theorized that people started separating themselves from the voices in their heads in a spiritual way and this gave rise to the concept of a “God”.
Far from proven but interesting nonetheless.
“If you don’t fight back, we’ll let you live” For now. Make no mistake about scorpions though.
