@Rouqen only way to sustain our speices is colonization. Already commericalized resources gathering in space i believe
Generation-ships is the solution. FTL is a pipe-dream.
Our pride gives us power
pride and anger
I just feel like an excess of that pride makes us do very stupid things
we have a lot of anger
Excess of anything is bad
But be proud to be the apex of Earth
sad thing is that when humans have no accomplishments of their own to note they usually fall back on group affiliation as a source of pride, like the loser in bumfuck Missouri who is an ardent white nationalist
in a sense having too much pride is a sign none of us really has anything to be proud of
is there a word for empty pride?
vs provable pride from accomplishments
Vanity?
vicarious pride?
literally lucifer
kek
You're right, I'm proud my ancestors got rid of slavery.
I am proud of my species
im proud that i havent died in this country thats something
yeah it's vanity like @Rouqen said
I'm proud I got out of bed this morning
I am not proud of myself that much
aw
I haven't changed the world
have you changed your own personal world though?
Meaning I done nothing
Change yourself, and the world follows.
dude
if we do become spacefaring think well go peaceful with aliens or go full blown war with the xenos?
the world is you subjetive vision of it
My personal world doesn't mean shit
so you technically control the world
I think peace or indifference and avoidance is more likely
i want play with black holes
in the most stupid way possible
I don't think that first contact would allow us anything other than peace
how do we translate their language
