>>11115711I formally disagree. Current evolution models don't exactly account for the direction of human development and the singular species basically rapidly evolving intelligence on the grand scale.
And then never dying, horribly regressing, or being mutated or land locked into a boorish uncivilized state. This didn't happen due to disease, time, ice ages. And yet there is evidence we have come close.
There was evidence of one population squeeze down to several thousand. And now there is copious evidence we should have nuked ourselves.
The credit isn't also to supernatural forces. Specifically off world ones. Human beings are an enigma. I lob neanderthals and donovans into the same category to be frank.
I personally only suspect that worlds where likely seeded or guided in terms of evolution. It's quite possible in my view that DNA reproduction inevitably is meant to lead to greater and greater colonies of energy users. Leading to development of broad energy using infrastructure scaled infinity as a way to teraform planets.
There are also many nukes out there now. The failsafes are also not all that grand to be frank. It would only take one estranged cult to fire off a nuke, or fuck with a specific detection system. And yet the days keep on moving. Decades old soviet era ballistic computers don't seem to falfunction, aren't these some miracle safety measures.
You either subscribed to off world interference or you claim that people in the absolute sense each time it happened prevented total anhilation out of the goodness of their heart.
I believe that some could have. But no one decided against it? Really? No officer was done with the world, or convinced badly enough to launch?
It's exceptionally convenient but plausible I suppose. We really need to get to mars and find life.
