I sometimes hope for aliens to come to this planet and treat us like we treat other living beings.
Humanity is such a poor excuse for civilisation
Humans are fucking disgusting. If you zoom out far enough we are just a bacterial infection of the Earth. Spreading our gray cities like bacteria in a petri dish. Growth for the sake of growth is the mentality of a cancer cell.
Well Earth is about to pitch a fever to fight us off…
It's the "mentality" of most everything. We just have the ability to reflect upon it and, perhaps, change it.
Fun fact: this Joe Rogan rant from 2011 you plagiarized wasn't even written by him.
I don't know what rants you're talking about. This is not a new idea and I did not frame it as a new idea. Maybe stop living your life in podcasts, that is wild that you memorized a quote from 12 years ago
maybe one of the big filters for intelligent life in the universe is greed
The ferengi agree.
I'm looking forward to alien's selectively breeding us for pets like we do dogs.
It would be a trip to see how many dwarf albinos end up running around
