I somewhat prefer the idea that we destroy ourselves instead of the rest of the universe.

At universal scale we are not even ants.
rleslievideo t1_iwz9au3 wrote
We're actually even way more insignificant than that. If the scale of the sun was a grapefruit our entire planet would be the size of a the ball in a ballpoint pen. This is on display at a park in Washington, DC. We're not even ants in our own solar system.

Once we start our cosmic conquest all bets are off.

I hope there's another intelligent lifeform out there, so far beyond us that we can't possibly ever catch up to their technology, that will stop us before we destroy any other planets.
sudobee t1_iwxr49y wrote
You mean a reverse invasion?
Metaloneus t1_iwyqgje wrote
If any lifeform out there has battered us in terms of technology, I have some bad news for you as to how they would have built that technology.

I really love the 10-year anniversary piece. OP’s quote figures in it prominently — and spectacularly.

I will now re-write this comment as if Carl Sagan is speaking it: words in CAPS mean he raised the tone of his voice to a higher pitch. with these simple tips, everyone can speak like Carl Sagan, as follows:
the SKY (pause) calls to us. if we do NOT destroy ourselves (pause) we will ONE DAY (pause) venture (pause) to the stars.

I think we'll make it. There's a lot of turmoil in this society. But there's still potential somewhere within it. We haven't lost hope yet. I haven't lost hope for humanity, yet. If you lose yours, or feel you're losing it, give it to me. I'll carry it for you. :)

This one kinda misses the marking on being motivational imo. But I believe in you. Next time will be better.

drdildamesh t1_iwy5ecf wrote
Ok but like the farther we go into the sky the harder it is to breathe. I feel like that's pretty self destructive. We had to like devise ways to survive our toxic relationship with the sky and that should be a massive red flag about meeting up with it.

This is he dumbest quote I’ve ever read. Absolutely moronic no matter how you look at it.

I hope that whatever is troubling you gets better. You could add so much more to the world being a living human being.

What is the point of the quote? I’m not trying to be negative it just doesn’t make any sense in my opinion.
