Was that a clever thing like "I wonder what the hell etc etc"? I wonder if inhumane terrorism will ever stop.

Don't worry, you are still gonna be studying at that time too xD 10 years later, I hope I don't regret my decisions relating to my studies. Christ Almighty. D:

Hi there! Welcome to DCW! Ehrmm... Why didn't you post an intro when you first joined? Just asking, by the way. Anyways, great choice of favorite Characters! Those three are like in my top 10 fave characters in the series. Other than that, again, welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here!

The Script - For the First Time

I know I said I won't defend myself anymore but... I'm just too proud of myself. I don't really mean "infinite" resources like a bottomless glass of water where the thing does not run out, magically but rather the water you drink from the glass is just recycled over and over again. My wording there was wrong, sorry. (As always haha) So yup, I meant it as a self sustaining environment where 99.9% of the resources they use, they recycle it again. Another good metaphor for it would be a farmer with a family where his/her farm completely sustains their basic needs without any need to source out. Practically, it's an eternally sustaining environment, as long as no terrible external factor comes in to rattle the equilibrium. As for the overpopulation, well if we humans, ourselves, are really disciplined and well versed about the effects of of that thing and aren't terribly 'self-indulgent'. Overpopulation should never happen. We can even probably reach the point where our population's birth rate almost equates the death rate. In that case, a kinda-stagnant population count. And for the actual individual consumption of resources, same thing, if we are disciplined bla bla bla. The resource consumption of each individual should be somewhat the same. Now, if an intelligent civilization has a stagnant population count and a equal resource consumption for each individual, there should be an unchanging level on the total consumption of the said specie. And if they also do not actually use up 100% or whatever near 100% percent of the resources they have in their planet, any resource usage spike should not cause a complete catastrophe since they have 'reserves' in the case of this happening. So in short, an intelligent civilization that just recycles their resources (almost) completely, has a nearly fixed population count + a nearly equal resource consumption for each individual and maintains a resource reserve, should, in theory, have an 'eternally' sustaining habitat, as long as you set aside any disastrous external factors (like comets and asteroids). === On the curiosity thingy, I don't have any satisfying answer but again, I'm pretty sure you have encountered people in your life that you can say is incurious. Now, just Imagine a freaking alien specie which is singly lead by a dictatorial leader who is incurious and would never fund a freaking exploration for the purpose of fulfilling curiosity and instead just focuses on maintaining their specie using the said technique above. I mean yeah, the dictatorial leader would not live forever but the thing he/she did would kinda stall the progress of the species towards reaching stellar capabilities. Haha, just here in our planet, there have been already several leaders that did nothing to advance science and worse, there are those who even opposed to it like because it doesn't align with what they believe. Thank God, the stars aligned on us.

Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You

:V Fermi Paradox is the paradox existing between the probability of mulitutudes of numbers of hospitable places in the universe to the lack of existence of Extraterrestrial Civilization, not Extraterrestrial Life. Actually, Spacefaring kind of Extraterrestrial Civilization since originally, it was like "why aliens have not yet contacted us or why they have not been here if the universe was kinda infinite?" Plus, I did not mean that the article is directly the answer to the Fermi Paradox but rather it gives some of the people an idea of what might be the possible solution which is simply, Aliens might have evolved completely differently from us resulting from the environment they are in and one of the possible results of evolution is their brain being hardwired not to want to go to space (or not to go too far from their comfort or simply lack of motivation since they all got what they need in their planet) or they have evolved biologically which prevents them from going to space or they evolved different senses that prevented them from knowing what 'space' is (I imagine an intelligent specie which doesn't have sense of sight or hearing but rather, they communicate through patterns of winds hitting the pores in their skins. If that's the case, how can they know that there's space if they can't see it?) === Yeah, evolution prefers expansionist but you also fail to see that species tend to expand out of need not out of curiosity, at least for the most. If a specie thrives in an environment which has somewhat an infinite stuffs that fulfills their need, I don't think they would ever need to expand and move somewhere else. Just look at us, our brain is hardwired to tell us to stay in comfort zone. We only reach out if we need to. And also, it's unhumbly to say that we are the pinnacle of evolution coz evolution has no destination or specific path (and I think you know that). Evolution is just a random mutation which happens that some of the mutation tend to give a specie an advantage on the environment they are in which causes them to outcompete their competitors. And one more thing, the evolutionary process we are able to study is only the evolution here on our planet, on the environment we grew in. So it's kinda not good to assume that evolution is the same for every planet in the universe with life in it. Plus, anyways, waht does this relate to what I was talking about? It doesn't matter whether a specie is an expansionist or not, they wouldn't be able to spacefare, if biologically, they are incapable of knowing or travelling space, itself. Well, if they're capable of travelling space then they would travel/expand to space but mostly, only in need. But who knows? Some alien intelligent species might have found a way to create a eternally sustaining ecology on the place they are in without the need of expanding to space and some might be even working towards this way instead of expanding and expanding. I know that it's not logically sound to not expand to some places out of need but if they're incapable of knowing space, then how would they expand to it? On the otherhand, I'm not gonna be arguing to you if we're just talking about a specie incapable of going to space since they'll be most likely just invent something that'll allow them to travel to space. But it would take time, as always. I still don't buy the Great Filter. I mean, in my knowledege, Great Filter proposes that there's just this one single event or problem that filters all intelligent life forms which I just can't wrap around my head on. It sounds like once you pass this filter, you're good to go and you're gonna be spacefaring forever. It like puts up an idea that the Universe or whatever has a mind of its own and makes a single filtering event or problem setup specifically for life which just does not make sense to me. For me, it throws in like a theistic POV like there's a hand of God blocking the way or something. Anyways, you could say that this 'Great Filter' is caused naturally but try putting yourself in the thing, there's no single specific problem in our life (as a human) that once we pass, we're 100% gonna be in good terms forever Now that I think about it, a more plausible theory to me is that instead of one single 'Great Filter' existing rather, before something can turn into what we humans define as, "Spacefaring Civilization" or if you want, just "intelligent specie" , this thing needs to go through a lot of strenuous tests (filter) not caused by any higher mind or something but caused by its own environment before it can actually reach its end goal. And on each filter, few of it gets filtered out becoz they weren't just 'fit' enough. Just look back in our history, as mankind and as a living specie in this world. We did not end up here easily. Like if the Dinosaurs were never wiped out, we would never be here. On the otherhand, on mankind's history, we went to alot of wars before we achieved this current peace we have which could have either wiped us out or turn us back to primitivity. We don't even know if it's gonna last. Things can change in a snap of a finger and who knows what problem would humanity would be facing next and whether we would survive it or not. And even if we reach stellar capabilities, problems doesn't stop there. I know my answer isn't fulfilling but my actual stance would, there's no single answer to that paradox. Rather, IMO, it is caused by multitudes of colliding variables like if an intelligent specie evolved a sense that would actually allow them to ponder and know 'space', if the intelligent specie does actually want to expand to space, if the said intelligent specie can overcome the problems that they would be facing, and if they could, could they last really long for another intelligent specie to know them? Anyways, on the mole thingy, I didn't mean 'us' there :V I was imagining there an intelligent species which evolved to live underground becoz of this or that. Same thing goes to the darkness stuff. Plus, please stop saying "How could this or that not do this or that? It doesn't make sense". For me, the argument is already using a subjective truth, It doesn't mean that if it doesn't make sense to us humans it's also the same for the alien species and vice versa. We have never met an alien civilization to say that it's the general truth. It's just like saying that if I like chocolate then everyone also likes chocolates. === And that's it I won't be defending the thing any much more by the way. Coz Gahd, arguments to internet debates are really time consuming to write lol. Plus, I know I would lose anyways in the end. So there ya go. :3 Sorry for any grammar mistakes, by the way.

Sam Smith - Stay With Me

Huh? I didn't get you (The last sentence was kinda I dunno) But if you're talking about how people believe that the "Geniuses" are always geeky when it comes to their wordings, yup. Ignorant people tend to still believe that and still stereotypes them which is kinda sad. But, in all seriousness, if you actually do a person check on those people (like Neil Degrasse Tyson, Carl Sagan, Michio Kaku, even Stephen Hawkings and if you want, Einstein), they don't really live up to the generalization. Heck, some of them even write "books" that are directed to general public which uses savory and literatic words, explaining their works and some of them did/do guest speeches on public places. The ones who probably live up to that stereotypes are those underappreciated scientists, lol. That's also most likely the reason why they're underappreciated, they don't know how to communicate non-boringly to the mass. Anyways, I'm just talking about the geniuses in the field of Science. So that's that. Meh, I don't buy the great filter theory. === Actually, I was searching around the net and found this article which IMO, is a great answer to the Fermi Paradox (It doesn't directly answer it but it gives you the idea): Why aliens might have a differenting understanding of the universe As the article states, aliens might have a different understanding of their surrounding and also, have a different logic than us humans have (depending on the environment they evolved on). So it raises the question, what if some of the intelligent out there just simply don't want to travel the space? It may seem illogical to us but to them it is logical. Who knows? Some of the aliens might have evolved a fear of the void/dark because of the environment they are in or some evolved to live and thrive underground that they don't even know that space exists. There's just many possibilities brought by evolution which greatly reduces the possibility of spacefaring intelligent species. And, if you add the other variables to the equation (like how much time it takes to evolve from not-so intelligent specie to a human-intelligent like specie which is also non specific since mutations happens randomly; how long it takes to travel space; the rate and pattern of technology advancement of an intelligent specie; chances of an intelligent specie from being eradicated by its own kind or other external factors before even reaching a great amount of stellar traveling capabilities etc. etc.) It really super minimalizes the chances of space-age aliens around us. So yeah, this a great theory, again, IMO. (Whoa. I just sounded really geeky their for a second )

I found out that it's almost already November. Time flies really fast. It really felt like that last year was just some time ago.
