Stephen Harrod Bruhner once said that society is like of like a plant. It produces its off spring to spread out when it is at its peak health. It makes the biggest fruit just before it dies. That we started sending intergalactic space probes in the 1970s when, in the west, the energy use per capita was to start to peaking is a funny conincience. Some of those are probably accidentally carrying microbes that will be suspended in state for potentially hundreds of millions of years. It isnt something to take too seriously but it is a fun concept to contemplate. Maybe we have the exact same intelligence for logevity as a tomato.
