I do wonder sometimes if someone out there is waiting for something actually intelligent to emerge down here.
- rob74 6mo agoIf they exist, they're probably currently placing bets whether we will manage to destroy ourselves (or at least set our civilization back by centuries) with our nuclear weapons, our climate change or our social media...
- Tade0 6mo agoDepends how they're listening I think. There was a time not long ago when reportedly looking at the emails being exchanged around the world one would think the most pressing matter, discussed at length, was how to "enlarge your penis".

- lproven 6mo agoWe are metazoans? Well, I can't be sure about you, but I am and all my friends too.
- FarmerPotato 6mo agoRight. I had in mind an article I read about the "ur-metazoan" I propose the concept "Linnaeus-Years" to measure how outdated my taxonomical vocabulary is.
- Izkata 6mo agoI like the idea we live inside the Veil of Madness (A sort of galactic bermuda triangle that drives inhabitants insane, so all spacefaring civilizations stay away). https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/8vbfgk/the_veil_of_madness_part_one/ https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/8vbfgk/the_veil_of_mad...
- lproven 6mo agoTBH Vernor Vinge did it a _lot_ better.
- the_af 6mo agoI upvoted because I didn't know the short film existed and it's interesting. I think the short film completely misses the mark if both entities are there in human form, in a diner. (Of course, budget constraints, and the adaptation cannot just be two inorganic beings talking, but still...)
