If it was conclusively determined that there is no other life outside our planet, how would that make you feel, and would it change your behavior in any way?

That’s been my assumption all along. Knowing for sure wouldn’t change a thing for me.

Ha. Fuck. My pre coffee brain read that backwards.

There is absolutely life outside of earth. That’s my assumption.

To believe otherwise is both incredibly egotistical and ridiculous given the sheer size and age of the universe.

That’s not the question though. It has been determined there is no life. What is your response?

"Damn, now we really have to get past the great filter then."

What if that’s impossible 🤔

I'll have to continue to enjoy playing the part of the actors and the audience until the end of this cosmic drama when the Kali Yuga age ends and Vishnu once again wakens from his dream. Then when the deity falls asleep again the cycles begins again 🙃🫠🤣😂😅

Its 3am over here if you couldn't tell 🫠

Probably to work even harder to make sure we don’t fuck it up. Basically, I think it would radicalize me waaaaaay further.

This is a really good video on how could have started after the big bang

oh no

anyways

I used to be obsessed with space and science fiction media.

I just don't care anymore. There are few things that are less relevant to my daily life.

Once I started my family a lot of my priorities shifted in a massive way.

I wouldn’t believe it. It would be impossible to get me to believe that stars explode and spew seeds of life throughout the cosmos and those seeds make our planet bustle with life in 1000s of forms. And there are more stars than there are grains of sand on earth. In fact, they think there’s somewhere around 10,000 stars for every grain of sand.. and now we know pretty much every star has planets in orbit.

There’s just no way I’d ever believe it. Life is a consequence of our universe, not the exception.

yes but not the question

if it were, hypothetical

think about it, marinade da pondar

hmm🤔

I’d never believe it was conclusive. But if it was would I value my life more than I do? No. Would I change anything, also no. I view the chance to experience life as extremely special. I take time on my walks daily to thank the universe for my ability to stare at a tree or the clouds and ponder my existence. I appreciate it deeply. If I died tonight, I’m grateful. Life is fleeting. Aging is a gift that not everyone gets to enjoy. Being here at all is a miracle.

that was fucking beautiful man gfy

Dis why Tata.. he on that euphoric level of his fast.. past 36 hours now.. autophagy up 300% 🫨😲

Seriously why does fasting do this to me? I need answers.

well fasting says it's cleaning your body right

getting rid of unnecessary and such, restore

your mind is part of your body too

only logical

one day fast can definitely clean your body of excess water, salt and other bullshit.

going past that brings no further benefits, but carries a lot of muscle loss which is hard to put back on

I genuinely appreciate your perspective, however I must respectfully disagree. 👇🏼

Thread spazzing is a way of life

Sorry karnage..

You guys killed my note 😂 😂

Shit, sorry

It’s all good. That’s why I post - so some nyms can shit all over. 😂 😂 jk

I believe that having these narratives makes humans curious, eager to know, and dream of seeking those answers.

If it were to end, they wouldn't be completely satiated. They would still have that desire to know and see in other aspects, such as exploring life or building colonies on other planets.

For me, I may be slightly disappointed that I don't have that, but I'll find new subjects to replace it.

It won't have a significant impact, I think it's a matter of exploration, its objectives, and the desire to know and see.

Lucky.

We got to post "first" in the proverbial YouTube comments section we call life. 🤙

we the only living thinking thing w thumbs and endless war that talk weird language sounds in the whole universe??

that would hype me up initially like woah

secondly, i think i would be doing everything the same.. i mean, i literarily don't now shit ab fak now, probably still wouldn't know shit ab fuck then

There isn't. This is creation, not accident.

Would not change my behaviour however I would feel slightly alone..meaning that we are the only species in space!

But then I would also choose to see the positive in this.

As an incredibly spiritual person, I would never believe it nor would I listen to outside word. The determination of conclusive evidence lies within the realm of human perception. We can only establish laws based on our limited knowledge. The universe is vast and constantly expanding. If someone claims to have reached a conclusive answer, I would kindly acknowledge their perspective and move forward.

Having unwavering faith in the unseen is a way of life. The human eye can only perceive about 1% of the physical reality, leaving 99% unseen. Just think about everything we’re missing!

Undoubtedly, there must be more life forms out there. It would be foolish to think otherwise. So, if it were conclusively proven that no other life exists beyond our planet, it would be surprising. And I’m 100% confident that I would have faith in knowing that there is someone / something else out there. Also, it wouldn't change my behavior. I’d still be my bright, inquisitive, free flowing, self. 😊

I would still think that there is no other way for us to make it in the long term than colonizing as many stars as possible, and that this requires transitioning from carbon-based self-replicating chemistry to an inorganic-based form of consciousness vessels that can withstand long-distance space travel.

In any case, it's quite possible that others have already done the same. We may be unable to find "life" in the universe, and that at the same time conscious beings are out there.

Interesting 🤔

Who gives a flying fuck about israel?

I don’t think we need hitler

😉

Another option is that we create and release AIs based and trained on our cumulative hundreds of thousands of years of biological evolution and cultural development, and that they are the ones that survive and spread instead of our biologically human forms. Sort of, we stop evolving biologically, no descendant DNA-based species, but a silicon-based one.

Don't give up on carbon-based so easily - we have a solid lock on self-replication technology, and we're so cheap!

Develop your neural network in carbon over decades, then later "distil" its outputs into silicon-on-insulator for the long haul. We already have the technologies for that, we just don't call them by the right names.

What we don't have and should develop is the "technological toolkit" to colonise icy objects outside habitable zones. Probably needs to be fission-based since we cant seem to make fusion work. Building a society inside a KBO and putting it into an extrasolar trajectory is our only hope of teaching other stars without new physics.

*reaching

That's pretty much what I'm thinking about, in the short term.

Be born in carbon-replicator form, then upload your ass to a silicon-binary form than can withstand gamma rays, extreme cold, enormous time lapses, and all that nasty crap that you need to endure in order to star-hop at sublight speeds.

But eventually, I think the whole "being born" thing ceases to make sense or just becomes impossible, and we just stick to inorganic, voluntarily or not.

Only if they interfere with my daily business... 😎

Unlikely. Whilst I did try building spaceships as a child, I got out of the habit and it might be hard to restart now as my folks didn’t own emerald mines, the VC scene in my area is pretty slim and don’t get me started on government funding!

That cannot be determined. So the question is very hypothetical. But well, suppose it would have been, then life on earth is even more valuable.
