We won’t be alive when this question is answered—but if those in power keep choosing not to help us stay alive, and keep choosing to not protect the next generations? Then there you go. Not all species will survive their first shot at technology. I just hope we do.

One of the best lines in the movie Contact is when the panel is asking Ellie—if you could ask just one thing of these life forms, what would it be? And she replies: how did you survive your technical adolescence without destroying yourselves?

I think about this question a lot

Humans are a future predicting species. We by default plan ahead to ensure we have food and shelter. But long term future thinking? We’re quite bad at. What I can’t understand is how we brag about being these evolved creatures can’t still can’t or won’t manually override our simple animal brains.
