Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.

i also think that there could be viruses zooming around the universe, some sort of signal that makes lifeforms want to build radio telescopes and rebroadcast the signal until the universe is singing the same hymn and whoever is running the sim gets pissed off and shuts us down

I know I'm just cribbing off a faded memory of a college friend telling me about some sci fi book he read, but I could see us basically being war consultants for all the other races who could keep it in their pants\silos long enough to advance their civilizations to a space faring level. Want to know how to end your disputes with the slug people of Wacky Planet 10? Why, just ask the creatively homicidal apes of earth; they'll whip you up irradiated salt bombs in no time flat!

In 2001 I was skateboarding in SoCal while listening to "Aliens Exist" by Blink-182, and now 17 years later I'm curled up on the floor of my NYC apartment while listening to Alex Jones talk about the Pan Spermia and Alien DNA

It's very likely that they'd never even bother contacting us. They'd just sling a planet killer into Earth because we'd be their competition. That would be the smartest thing to do to us imo

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Given the exponential rate of technological and scientific growth we're probably the farthest along in the galaxy or close to it, and assuming humanity survives late stage capitalism we're basically going to own this galaxy in the (cosmic) near future.
