Our species is doomed. This is fact we cannot deny. You have to find your peace with that fact in whatever way you can...
I honestly never knew what to think about the pointlessness of life. Nihilism, fun stuff...
Actually yeah, what I've always done was pursue science and try to basically fix the problem myself.
What is it that we need to do? Get the fuck off earth before it goes boom. Steven Hawking himself has said it. The future for humanity is not here on this planet, it is in the stars.
I guess it's why I've always loved space movies growing up. It's about what we have to do, get going on space exploration and inevitably finding a new home.
Supposedly we've found it. It's as close as it gets at 4 odd light years away. It's potentially got earth like qualities. If it's good and can support us, you bet it we'll find a way to inhabit it within the next billion years.
That's cool. I like the concept that our species will persist beyond the life span of our solar system.
All this war and death and killing, I'll never understand it. We're fucked. You don't get it. It doesn't matter what goes on between us here on earth at all. What matters is if we ever figure out how to inhabit a new world. Continue the species well into the future, preserve our history for far longer than we have available to us here in this solar system.
I hope we get there... I hope....
