A nice thought but mine has probably been slash & burned to make grazing land that will be useless and dead in 10 years.

I'm a proponent of the Rare Intelligence Hypothesis for the Fermi Paradox, amount with this. I suspect common Great Filters include of the problem is the amount of heavier elements in sufficient quantities not being high enough, especially phosphorous which is still fairly rare in most parts of the galaxy; waterbound intelligence unable to utilize fire for metal refining and other purposes; heavier gravity making rockets impossible and even mass-driver gravity well escapes difficult; the fact that advanced intelligence is a really rare even after 4 billion years on earth and has so far only produced 1 lasting advanced tool using species that has passed into the stone age, much less past it; and cyclically self-destructing civilizations that ultimately burn through the resources necessary to escape the planet in any meaningful way.
Cyclical self-destruction is basically reaching nuclear war or other planetary deviation tech, loosing a few centuries or millennia of progress, rinse and repeat until you can't leave the planet. I lump anthropic climate catastrophe in there. Hard to get the population and tech up to space-age when you've made 90% of your planet uninhabitable.
It doesn't help that the Indian driving culture has a concept for "slow the fuck down" and that right of way seems to belong to whichever vehicle is largest.
Translation: you will now train your eventual replacement.
It was always a lie. First it was "we the white male land owners" and then "we the white males." Expansions to that pool of who "the people" are have been slow and excruciating.
Aww those derp eyes remind me of Spleens.
So, Elon, you said that you totally legit play PoE 2, but you also said you didn't use computers. So which is it?
Which is it, Elon?
I dunno, it looks like they succeeded at making it. It's what it exactly is that's the problem
Cool story William Shatner.
They might know some whataboutisms and strawmen.
Yeah I don't believe their cover story.
Yeah no joke, wear your goddamn safety harness. That guy looks like he got hella whiplash.
