Yeah, the way that I'm always denigrating my abilities in science and mathematics while recommending textbooks and encouraging people to double check everything that I tell them. What an arrogant prick I am, unlike Neil Degrasse Tyson who pretty much ridicules anybody he doesn't feel to be on the same intellectual level as him. Which is to say that there's footage of him ridiculing attendees at his self adulating lectures (on account of them having fairly common vocal tics). He's literally the sort of guy who walks into a room and tries to break the ice by talking about how stupid anybody who studies philosophy or social sciences is. There's also a good video of him flipping out at Brian Greene over some idle speculation that amounts to "aliens could land tomorrow and show us that everything we know is wrong."

While I don't really remember any posts I've ever saw from you, I totally see your point by the way you didn't do any of that in this thread.

Almost like what you've been doing with pretty much every response in this thread? Or do you feel it's somewhat different because you more just condescend to people than you do outright ridicule them?

Yep, but I'm thinking they want to start colonizing. It's a one way trip.

I'd love to be able to see the day human beings develop the capabilities of exploring other galaxies. It would be fascinating to witness all the changes humanity would go through to reach that point.
Not to say that I would like to live forever, but to increase my lifespan by thousands of years would be neat. It's unfortunate none of us will live long enough to see any significant change within our own lifetimes.

A Star Trek future would be amazing. It is rather depressing that we wont live that long.
Our only hope is reincarnation.

I don't know how old you guys are, but I'm pretty young and with all these amazing medical science advances nowadays. I have faith that they will have firgued out biological immortality by time im 60 plus. That reminds me, I should start saving up for my ticket to mars.

yep you're right. Theres no point in biological immortality if our dicks are not working. I guess we could go with robotic dicks but i doubt it'll be the same.

At that point we might as well go full cyborg and just transfer our consciousness or our very brains into a functioning synthetic vessel.

Fuck mars
Earth is beautiful
the grass is not greener on the other side
why cant we just look after earth ?
I guess it would be cool to inhabit other planets
but to me getting humans interested or thinking that we might colonize other planets is bad as Santa or the Easterbunny
we are already in the deepest part of space that we can go, On a planet that we evolved with why cant we enjoy what we have
Some times i find clarity and i realize how stupid we are including myself

But humans are natural explorers. We have been doing it since the Dawn of Man. Thats why we must keep exploring!

It takes less people to successfully leave and colonize another planet to ensure continuity of a sorts, than it would take to change their way of life so that the planet doesn't become overly fucked.
