>>12161106hey, brainlet. reality doesn't conform to your acute view of natural phenomenon. civilization isn't a word. cavemen could not come together to make cars, even if they had factories and all the tech/resources/infrastructure at hand to do it with. this is because social civilization walks hand in hand with scientific civilization, and a dozen other facets of civilization that you and i aren't aware of. if making a car requires a level of societal civilization (how many cars are made in africa again?) then imagine the level for simple space travel (how many countries are even able to get something into space? imagine if they weren't just benefiting from following in a previous discovery's footprints/basically having all the work done for them already). Now think about system wide exploration. Then planet colonization. Think about a dozen steps I've missed because I don't know them.
Then there's questions of science and the expanding universe. Galaxies will be cut off from one another eventually. 'galactic civilization' is a meme for a dozen reasons, but the one that always annoys me the most is that people think a civilization that has the capacity to colonize GALAX(IES) would be so socially underdeveloped as to not have a tremendously more complex moral and ethical code, socially evolved by necessity to predicate the kinds of teamwork, trust and cooperation among varying ethnicity/species/racialsubtypes/ect that would be ABSOLUTELY required to run a NON-FICTIONAL galactic empire, LET ALONE a simple fucking SOLAR empire. think of the fucking timescales involved in a single galactic plane of colonization. think of the timescales in simple solar colonization. we're constantly given trials as a species that make us more fit to cooperate with even more alien versions of ourselves.
like fuck man, this is supposted to be a smart board. spend at least 5 minutes before you try talking about impossibly complex predictions with such stupidity.
