  • But sister Nikk, my kindred spirit in common sense, everything we do has a darwinistic tinge to it, from mate selection, to economic betterment, to caring for grandchildren. Really, all of this is just propagation of life. Those good at it have kids that get better at it.

    So, what if we up our game and send microbes to live on the planets, and then to the exoplanets. Holy fuck, someday the Milky Way will be the envy of our galactic cluster.
    I really value your reply to this. You may not be as good at math as Isaac Newton, but you seem to think outside the box like that Einstein guy used to do.

    • All of those things could also just be for pleasure. Maybe we are all just hedonistic, not darwinistic, or maybe we are both.

      I stand by the answers being unknowable.

      • As a confirmed Agnostic, your position resonates with my inner self. And, I think that hedonism is a very strong argument. Marquis de Sade loved to drink, fuck, and express his inner perversions. The thing is that over time, hedonists have less offspring than darwinists, who engage in hedonism to a lesser degree.

        But, you make a good point. If engineering life for Mars, jupiters moons, cloud tops of Venus, etc, produced a survival advantage, people would get turned on by the idea (you know get wet, get hard, get subliminated and shit). People would say, my bugs are sexier than your bugs. They would have test tube wars for weekend entertainment. Now that I think of it, "Test Tube Wars" would be a good magazine to publish.

        Oh Nikki, you always say the most provocative things. I wish I had a cool sister like you. Btw, in what direction does the unknowability of it all lead you?

        • There are actually people that get turned on over robots. Many a geek gets hard or wet over the stuff you mentioned.

        • It leads me to insanity and depression and alcohol if I think about this stuff too much. 😉
