    Are you saying that if you were that super intelligent life traveling through space that you’d pass up a planet if you thought its inhabitants were too stupid?

          In a post scarcity society capable of folding dimensions for space travel, or can survive for thousands of years in regular space flight, yeah absolutely, do you watch cells divide for entertainment?

            Yes, 100% every time, yes, for the same reason people crouch and watch in fascination as the ants and the springtails go about their unfathomable business.

            How do you not have this curiosity of the endless wonder beneath your feet

                Thats just more reasons to be studying those species before they die out so we can properly prevent the dying.

                Thats, like, 40% of my job

                  We are still competing when we should have been cooperating 50 years ago as a global society. There is no preventing the coming catastrophe Imo.

                    Oh, well in that case youre flat faced wrong. We can absolutely avert a large amount of the damage coming, easy.

                    It will require a lot of legislation to reign in corporation pollution and ecological destruction, but we arent even close to the event horizon. Quit reading doom and gloom fluff pieces.
