Sometimes, its just about writing– And, if ever asked to supply that single, horrifying but simple line which defends mankind’s finale, I would say, both tactlessly and truthfully, about our people, as if a father excusing a misbehaving child…

Arrogant and unpatient, mankind learned only to race against time. And, died ignoring all other life here, whose careful stewardship all surrounding lent time to learn and live at all.

“There are many unattractive aspects to prison too. But one aspect most advocates won’t realize is, a prison is just a domain like any other. Except prisons are by very definition domains which aggregate criminal social activity. Thus, one undeniable aspect is, they operate as super-nodes of criminal behavior; hubs for knowledge-transfer and viral information exchange like universities, hospitals or military bases — only in this case its all of the criminal sort and subversive to society. This of course benefits the criminals as you can imagine, so while you put the worst minds together, they communicate, now in consort, to nodes that freely redistribute within the whole system, in the form of visitors.”

New Category… My Quotes. Why repeat things? Post ‘em, reference ‘em, be done with it. First up, explaining the results of Drake Equation…

“To explain the results of the Drake equation to other people — especially people who understand the Fermi Paradox — I would say, consider first that life as we know it, is rather small relative to the scale of the Universe. And second, that there are forgotten factors in the Drake equation, things like time, or the distribution of civilizations over such a factor as time or even space. So, because life as we know it hasn’t evolved on the scale of the Universe and has only ever thrived on the planetary scale, it is unlikely given the results of the Drake Equation, given observations like the Fermi Paradox, given existing physics, and given the size of the known Universe, that we shall come to contact some alien intelligence of a form of life as we know it. Though, I believe of all that rubbish… the greatest constraint is really philosophical and it is in how we define things like alien, intelligence and life.”
