Narrator: String theory offers basically fucking nothing except a woo gap for techbros to fantasize about. :the-more-you-know:
The very smartest A U T O D I D A C T S find out what "penultimate" actually means instead of just saying it because it sounds smart challenge. Difficulty level: leaving this universe. :curry-space:

The California Ideology has the same methodology as cancer cells. :libertarian-approaching:
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.
