I'm not sure humanity deserves to be the species that settles the Milky Way
What does that even mean? Especially in the context of how much we've changed to get us this far and how much we would have to change to colonize a galaxy?
You might as well have looked at Homo habilis 2.8M years ago and said, "these creatures don't deserve to surf the Internet."
- adventured 11y agoIt's premised on the belief that humans are unworthy. It's a meaningless statement, that only reveals what opinion the person holds of humanity, while lacking any objective foundation of comparison. It's just as likely that we are the most worthy of any species in the Milky Way or universe. Which is to say, every other intelligent life form in the galaxy is worse, or perhaps drastically worse. In my counter opinion, I regard the human race to be truly extraordinary and good overall. I'm aware of no finer species that should settle the Milky Way instead.
