Well, life is pointless and ample, and space is vast and for the taking.

Is the basic idea.

Is this your phony-Christian militarist persona at play on other worlds?

No but it is the best path a non-Christian world could take.

Open yourself to wonders and obtain what you have yet to obtain (including new paths).

Naturalists who die of easily curable wounds and diseases have been saying this for thousands of years.

Consider 14,000 years of total intergalactic domination and scientific advancement.

Consider 50,000 years of collapse, consider another 150,000 years of new and another 50,000 years of that again and again and over and over.

That's the path i think we're actually on, so none of it matters. Except the mark you make on the galaxy.

10/10 post shov and meant truly. I only consider that you're correct if time is purely linear. But time is also cyclical, is it not? Cultures, groups, civilizations -- all begin, all change, all reach a peak and decline, and the cycle repeats. And that's just a model of time.

All models are descriptions of reality. And they work until they don't or something better comes. True or not?

isaac ismovs best story is about how man makes AI and asks it what is the purpouse of life and it says "wait till have more data to answer"

and over the course of a million years the AI continues to develop and man keeps asking it and it says need more data.

Man goes extinct and it lives on collecting data.

And at the end of the universe after all the energy in it has gone extinct, it jump starts a new one and answers the question: to repeat the process.

I actually am not quoting the story well at all but that is one way I remember it.
