I personally find the "we are first" solution to be the scariest scenario. We are not suited for the responsibility of being the only intelligent life in the universe.
- adventured 12y agoWhat responsibility? I can see absolutely zero responsibility attached to that scenario. Humans also may be the most responsible intelligent life that ever exists in the universe. What's the basis to judge such things to begin with? There's an exceptionally low probability that human survival has any bearing on whether other intelligent life comes to exist (in the we're first scenario). Being first bears no responsibility because future life in the galaxy or universe is not inherently dependent on what we do.
- sebastialonso 12y agoI guess parent was implying an inherent responsibility about being the first intelligence, or conciousness. As such, should we nurture, protect, and by all means spread the intelligence sickness? I'd think yes.
