I love humans.

They somehow decided to start drilling, and not give up & get funding for 7 years.

We are a crazy but exciting bunch of organisms.

I read this as "crazy but extinct bunch of organisms"

That'll be true too, eventually. The way we're going now, it might not even be that long...

I think we should build a monument on the Moon with an archive of data of our cultures (including a copy of Wikipedia), built to survive for as long as possible, so that alien explorers can learn about us after we destroy ourselves, and learn how we managed to do so so they don't repeat the same mistake.


Also read extinct. Ha. Would be cool to know how to detect and exploit these speed reading induced recognition errors to write things that force people to slow down or go extinct :)


That’s because we are social animals. We tend to do things not only for ourselves, but also to contribute to the society we live in.
