    Its probably for the best.

    If humans are able to get to another planet with life on it we would probably do horrific unspeakable things to the aliens.

      I feel like I would treat my Togruta wife very well ;-;

      Real talk tho, humans will eventually reach the stars, being negative/nihilist about it and saying it’s better if it doesn’t happen is dangerous because people like Elon/Donald will definitely do horrible things if people with remorse and morals aren’t involved/ already established there / the one’s initiating

      Not saying you’re nihilist, but I go to Uni in SF and everyone is so anti-imperialism that they think any form of colonization (even on a dead planet like Mars) is bad and it’s pretty grating.

      Elon should not be the one who decides how the land/living conditions are set up

        It’s not nihilist to recognize historical precedent combined with current human conditions and come to a logical prediction.

        I wouldn’t have any problem with a completely dead planet being colonized by humanity but I absolutely do not trust humanity as a whole when it comes to a planet with life on it we don’t even respect our own species much less other ones history has shown this over and over again.

        even if it is an inevitability doesn’t mean that it is positive just because it was inevitable that nuclear weapons got invented doesn’t mean that It’s a good idea for us to have that technology I would rather nukes not exist.
