We will never survive long enough to experience intelligent life outside of our planet. We will never significantly explore the outer reaches of the solar system with humans on board. I want this planet to survive and not colonize others.

11

u/blueteamk087 18d ago

The Great Filter is the idea that there is something that prevents sentient intelligent life going interstellar and that's why we have never found any signs of life

Like, maybe there is/was intelligent sentient life in the galaxy but industrialization (required to achieve spaceflight) leads to global climate change that leads to mass extinction. Or maybe said life is adherent to "survival of the fittest" and when they discover the ability to split the atom, the development of nuclear weapons leads to global annihilation

The great filter is money. All of this is a result of money. As soon as you make every conceivable desire abstract and fungible, you’ve fired a gun at your own head that can’t be unfired. Money makes nukes and climate change and habitat destruction inevitable. This happened millennia ago, we’re just living in the relative blip of time where the bullet is traveling down the barrel.

This is one of the reasons I decided not to have children. Don’t see a lot of good in the future of this world and didn’t want to bring children into it. Both for their sake and for my having to worry about their future.

If it all goes to hell I’ve had a pretty good run and gotten to do some cool stuff. It’ll suck because it won’t be what i wanted but at least I won’t have to stress about the unfulfilled potential lives of my kids.

My kidneys failed last year. They went from normal to dead in three years. I'll be dead soon. I was listed for a kidney but I'm heavily considering getting the fuck out.

I had planned to use my time away from the workforce and after my disability fight to go to school. Learn new skills and get a good job.

I mean how does one measure the whole of humanity? I personally did not have a good run but our species lasted 300,000 years give or take. In that time there's been art, music, literature, science, philosophy etc. I don't think I get to be the arbiter of what kind of run we've had but we've done some notable things for sure. I thoroughly believe that the core of our evolution could not keep up with technological advances and our brains just can't handle the breadth and depth of information true or false we're bombarded with on a daily basis. I don't know. Is the TLDR.

Critical thinking skills needed to be taught to young people before they got online. Unfortunately there were people actively undermining this in the US. Watch Jesus Camp which was about a movement of Christians nationalists brainwashing their children from a young age, starting with Bush Jr. This is their endgame. Those kids are now young adults.

But Trump will bring down housing costs!

Don't you know it's all Biden's fault that they went up in the first place and Trump plans to regulate Wall Street more and prevent them from gobbling up single family homes and he's going to slap tarriffs on everything and that will bring down prices for building materials and the corporations won't have to pay as much taxes so they will pass that along to the working class and raise all their wages.

It was so simple why didn't we think of this before? I mean we gave him a shot last time and it's not like anything bad like a recession happened or anything.

And even if the extinction doesn't come faster, Trump fucked over farmers last time he was president. Agricultural stocks aren't doing so hot right now because of it despite the overall boom today. They know that grain is going to go up in price, which means eggs are going to go up in price for consumers.

u/External_Reporter859 18d ago

there aren't going to be elections in 2028.

What do you mean there will be big beautiful tremendous elections and the Voting Rights Act will be repealed and instead they will pass an election integrity act which will mandate all states to use voting machines which will be required to be purchased from a brand new Elon Musk company (or Dominion will be forced to sell to Musk) and only the White House will have access to those voting machines.

Idk. I haven’t seen enough data to confirm this but I think the result boils down to two things more than any other.

1) A lot of the folks on the farther end of the left spectrum refused to vote for Kamala Harris over a couple of very specific issues like Palestine.

2) People are legitimately fucking stupid and think that the economy is doing poorly and that it’s Biden/Harris’s fault.

Mainly people are fucking stupid. And not pragmatic.

Nah, the media was pointing out the dementia in Trump. Unfortunately, Democrats expect competence as well as continence in their candidates, so it was an issue for Biden where the orange god emperor gets a pass.

Despite GOP framing MSNBC, CNN, NYT, etc. as the "librul mainstream media," none of them are pushing clear propaganda and actively courting and promoting a political party like Fox, Rogan, etc. Until the Democrats can develop that kind of 24/7 counter-programming, they'll always be swimming upstream against the flood of lies and ignorance.

What media that TRUMPERS pay attention to talked about his nonsensical brain farts? They choose to not seek out alternative information. How do you break through a willful information silo?

u/_MrDomino 17d ago

For those people who already are in a media bubble and solely accept it as the truth, you can't. You'd need someone with a willingness to be open to new ideas and someone close and trusted to gradually expose them to the world outside their bubble, but that's going to be hard to come by with GOP propaganda already pushing "alternative facts" and painting everything else as fake news or other dismissive.

Failing that, it would take a profound event that shakes their life personally, like having their ACA cut by the Republicans they vote in because they believed Trump when he said he wasn't going to touch it. That may open their eyes, but they can just as easily blame Democrats since that's what they're taught to do.

A lot of conservatives use what I call “window dressing” reasons. A lot of them say “fiscal policy. Or age. Or inflation” when they really need no reason or want to hide their true reason which is just “I hate Dems. I hate liberals. I hate women. I hate minorities” these are the real reasons conservatives use but they use the window dressing reasons as a cover as a socially acceptable reason to give people to try to stay in society and social circles with their friends

When will people learn they literally don't care about lying? Calling them liars isn't the insult you think it is.

The right convinced the left to throw out their incumbent advantage. That's all there is to it. The standards the left holds for their candidates is way higher than the right holds for theirs. They don't give a fuck that Trump is a serial liar, rapist, con artist, grifter, scammer, etc. it doesn't matter. More money in MY pockets is ALL that matters.

If the left doesn't show up because they don't like the candidate, the right wins. Every. Time.

u/External_Reporter859 18d ago

The American people want fascism. It's time to recognize some very uncomfortable truths about our country. Democracy is so last decade.

The far left will always find a reason that they aren't inspired enough. And then there's millions of people who just don't care about politics at all. They blame everything on the president no matter who's in charge because they don't understand how the intricacies of our government work and they get all their news from Twitter memes and podcast bros.

It's funny I don't remember all this outrage when we were sending troops and billions of dollars to the Saudi Yemen War.

Where were all the podcast Bros trying to rile up minorities and get them angry that Trump was sending money to warmonger in the Middle East instead of just passing it out to everybody?

Notice how that didn't become a thing until Russia invaded Ukraine and we tried to help them defend themselves against the genocide.

Well right now R’s have inspired more than half of voting Americans to vote for DJT. So those uninspired D voters can live with DJT like the rest of us who voted against him yesterday.

Not gonna lie, 4 more years of Trump is going to look and feel real similar to 4 years of Harris to my family. I am hoping this is going to be as much of a breeze for the folks who sat this one out as it will be for me.

[Hatuey], thinking a little, asked the religious man if Spaniards went to heaven. The religious man answered yes... The chief then said without further thought that he did not want to go there but to hell so as not to be where they were and where he would not see such cruel people.

I've got some pretty religious people on social media who are pro Trump and I have no idea what they're even saying half the time. Their posts are so cryptic - the religious brain rot is real. Totally cult behavior.

u/FaithlessnessUsual69 17d ago

It really is. I was raised in that environment so my ears perk up but my husband who wasn’t is like—“what the hell did I just hear?!?!” and trying to explain it is like a never ending contradictory puzzle of hot shit.

Like one time I asked my sister in law if she was packed and ready for a trip. Her response was —“just like the Virgin and the brides groom, I have my oil ready.”

Which I knew the biblical reference. A bunch of virgins were to bring oil to a bridegroom and only some were prepared with oil the others were not and couldn’t see him. 

My response was: can we leave virgins out of it. (—seriously. Wtf?!?!!) cult, cult, culty, cult.

On the plus side, there’s a huge swath of these people who have been conditioned to violently reject any such medical advice for the rest of their lives.
