I read this a lot. It feels a bit pat to me, but I am uneducated.
Is this any more true/likely than, e.g.:
- There could be a lost diamond ring at the bottom of any septic tank
- Any terminated pregnancy could have become the scientist who saved the world/cured cancer/etc
- adammarples 3y agoNo matter how alien life on earth is, it is incredibly closely related to us compared to pretty much anything else. This is more like don't kill off half your family, they have kidneys, amongst millions of other things you don't even know about yet, that you night need.
