I don’t know if that’s possible, but string theory and other models seem to offer the possibility.
Does it "offer the possibility" or is it "unable to rule out the possibility because it's too malformed to rule out much of anything"?
Also: Peabrains.
The first were disease, famine, and environmental.
The current one is dire, and it’s basically the outpacing of our weapons over our maturity. We might kill ourselves with nuclear and/or biological weapons before we are smart enough not to, in other words.
I believe you'll find that disease, famine and, uh, environmental are all still problems that we are far from solving.
It's almost impressive how they manage to be both concerned for the future and yet completely dismissive of anything in the present. Like, if your spooky basilisk or mars colony or new universe or whatever was a serious goal, then solving the problems in font of us would be the first step.
"Next is the big one…the sun is going to burn out, and we have to be gone by that time."
That's in like a billion years who gives a shit
Well before the sun burns out, it's luminosity will push us past the habitable zone. Still, hundreds of millions of years lol
I'm on team "Turn Jove in to a fusion torchship and fly it around the galaxy", personally.
It's fun to think about, but as for the sun burning out I'll start taking that threat seriously when it's within 5k years of actually happening.
Back during the Reagan administration the Secretary of the interior supposedly said on teh record that global warming wasn't real because god wouldn't let that happen.
In a reasonable country we would look at that, realize this person is incapable of rational thought, and immediately roll back every single decision they've made.
"Escape or avert the collapse/heat death of the universe" is probably the last goal. Or, at least, deciding if you want to. Death isn't bad, necessarily.
Like, if we survive long enough we're gonna run out of things to do. I mean, we'll still have chess, but you might as well explore the possibility of beating entropy or finding out if there is an "outside" beyond the universe.
the penultimate purpose of the singularity will be to run old roms of the universe because the new versions suck
Literal baby men with zero understanding of how the real world works.
I think I was wrong to compare CHUDs to Frieza, CHUDs are more like Majin Buu.
Sure, they're "all-powerful" and all that, but CHUDs are effectively toddlers with godlike powers of strength, wealth, and borderline reality warping with their uncanny ability to make everyone believe what they say. that it makes you stop and think that whatever god is out there has a sick sense of humor.
If leaving the universe is the penultimate solution, i wonder what the ulitimate solution is? :thinkin-lenin:
so it offers the solution that comes before the last one? well i say just wait for the last one then
"No other solution but the penultimate solution" is such a funny thing to type, I don't think people couldve come up with for a silicon valley dipshit comedy character. It's something Michael Scott would say lol.
Not too keen to find out what tech bros come with as a "Final solution". Have a sinking suspicion it will be the same as the last time.
