The story goes like this…
In a Universe as large as ours, as old as ours, as diverse as ours…
Somewhere out there…
Must be life like us. Or maybe not quite like us. But something.
I once told a friend that Evolutionary Biology was the second most worthless science. He asked me what was the worst…
My answer: Space exploration.
Now, don’t get me wrong. The engineering science that it takes to build a functioning rocket is quite impressive. But my point is, why waste it towards outer space.
You see, the fact is…
There’s nothing out there.
Wow, I must be a real arrogant prick to think I’ve got it figured out right? I mean all those high IQ scientists vs some redneck from Mississippi.
But just think about it for a moment.
All those resources going into finding life, reaching planets, escaping Earth. And for what?
If those that “cared”, actually cared…wouldn’t they be exploring the ocean depths? You know, where life actually exists. Wouldn’t all that money go to better use providing care to the poor and impoverished and malnourished here on Earth? Wouldn’t those engineers be better off developing more sustainable ways to travel and build bridges?
Now, of course the argument will be that, yes we spend money on those things. And shouldn’t we be free to explore the rest? I mean, perhaps a planet will be discovered that has some type of resource that we can use to help with our fast depleting oil supply.
No. They shouldn’t be free to do that. These scientists are enemies of humanity. (okay, that was hyperbole and a bit harsh)
And why do we waste all this time and money on hopeless pursuits? Well in the end, it’s just for a newer iPhone.
All praise the technology gods that allows us to scroll, quicker and more efficient.
This is what they want.
This is where “evolution” has brought us.
Evolution is a lie. And space is empty.
But your life, the one in the here and now…
That’s what’s real.
That’s what matters.
