  • I feel what the author is after, but i wouldn’t argue that “the economy is booming” is a great indicator. People are still struggling day to day to afford basic necessities, and companies are keeping their “inflation” prices in place because for some reason, once they hit a high water mark its just impossible to decrease.

    Every Dem should be putting on display every act of violence Trump “joked” about, and be pushing that forward. Pausing campaign ads? Cool, Trump now will dominate the void.

    This decade sucks so much so far… Wish I had better words than that








  • Rare Earth by Peter Ward is what you’re after here. I took an elective in college that effectively was reading a bunch of space science (and history, it was odd) and discussing. This one caught me off guard but was a decent breakdown of a possible answer to Fermi.

    I don’t necessarily agree with the supposition, mainly because it still comes from a place of specifically carbon-based life as the end goal. But they do lay out reasoning in an easy to understand way that was super neat to learn.

    “Outperforming” here means extracting as much wealth as possible and consolidating it in the hands of a few. All the while being an absolute detriment to the health of the environment and people it uses to extract said wealth.

    But ya! Outperforming!
