If this true animal life will have only existed on earth for a billion years (the oldest fish and bugs are around 300 million years old) despite earth's total life span being 10 billion years until the sun kills us turns us into mercury 2 or flings us into the abyss of rogue planet life.

Early you mean.
If intelligent life exists in the universe, it stands to reason that there would be one initial civilization ahead of all the others.
But the timescale is so absurd it's entirely possibly the distance between the first and second civilization could hundreds of millions of years. We could be the first ones by such a long stretch of time, there'll be nothing left of us by the time other civilizations bloom.

Maybe in the future the galaxy will actually be teeming with life, all kind of exotic alien species interacting with each other, and they'll all look back on Earth and find only one or two mementos of a long gone intelligent species, and we'll be dubbed as the loneliest civilization to have existed in the universe. The one that came too early.

This. The chance of intelligent life that can produce technology is incredibly unlikely. To be able to build tools, you need to have opposable digits (which are really bad for using them for movement, ie they dont develop "normally" through selection pressures). You also need free hands that are otherwise just massive waste of energy. You cant develop in seas either (where free hands are more typical) because then you're locked out of developing firemaking and thus external combustion. So to have even human-tier civilization you need:
- animal thats social and forms groups for passing on tech, all solitary animals are out
- animal that lives in trees (to have grasping limbs) that is forced to (and succeeds) live on solid ground
- In the short timespan before natiral selection causes his upper grasping limbs to become vestigial (massive energy loss and only marginal gains --> strong negative selection pressure), a mutation needs to happen that twists one of its digits around
- the mutation has to be strongly hereditary
- the creature needs to develop tools that massively increase its fitness before arms become vestigial
- Despite living in trees previously, subsisting mostly on plant matter, the creature needs to have big energy-wasting brains
- the creature needs to develop fire-making quickly to unlock massively higher energy intake before his lower fitness on ground causes selection to choose for smaller brained individuals
- even if everything goes perfectly, it must not make itself go extinct / poison the planet irrecovably. This is the part where humans seem to succeed in just hundreds of years, so we wont most likely be there when next civilization develops and comes visit after millions of years.

I got real bad news. WW3 isn't going to end in nukes. It's going to end in genetic warfare that will wipe out 99.99% of life. Now that we can edit the genes of humans post-birth, there will be a tremendous genetics arms race to both harvest and design 'super' genes to create a 'god' genome for the rich. This will 200% end with something getting loose that causes out DNA to just fucking dissolve. Utter nightmare scenarios waiting. Nuclear death will seem better. As soon as a species unlocks genetic editing, it's filtered and dead.

Because >>731061479, There must be many planets with life, but out of all species that evolved on this planet there's only one "human". There's probably shit tons more planets with alien life but no civilizations to speak of. The closests space civilization could be in Andromeda for all we know.

And of the space civilizations that could exist, I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't make it that far (beyond like 20 light years)

>Because that's only strengthening the claim.
No it's not. Life can only develop in a setting that supported it in the first place, so naturally the only planets out of all of the countless candidates out there with their own different circumstances where you will even exist to ponder the questions are the ones that were "coincidentally" just perfect for us.
>>
>>731062281
Nope. They'd be smart-greedy. Think; any alien civilization capable of such travel would have incredible material resources at home. Now, what can a planet possibly offer if materials are no longer an issue? Biosphere. The life. Nowhere else in the UNIVERSE will you find pearl, jet, or amber for gems. Diamonds by the dime, but only one place in existence for a pearl. Same with the life. Silent observation and abduction is the only thing that makes sense; it preserves the biosphere, does not expose you to foreign pathogens that will kill you, and allows you to build a giant library of organic material for unprecedented use in your own sciences.

>There is no reason to believe that aliens wouldnt be "greedy" like every animal on earth.
A thief thinks everyone steals.
But in a way you're right, because any altruistic species would have been killed off by the selfish ones. Reminder that neanderthals were more intelligent, peaceful and even taller than homo sapiens, but still went extinct because homo sapiens were just racist raging manlets who killed off anyone different than them.

There are solid assumptions you can make about aliens but you lack imagination if you think the most likely outcome is that they would come to enslave us. The first solid assumption is that they would not be pushovers. They climbed the evolutionary ladder of their world, survived long enough and progressed their technology enough to somehow one day arrive at your world. They are winners. Once at that point though, what need would they of us? A much smaller, weaker, dumber species. Enslave us to do... what? They would have infinite resources. More than likely they would just be interested in information (our philosophies, our cultural arts, our food, our science) which we would be happy to offer in a trade for one of their rayguns or some shit
>>
>>731062409
This may seem like such an optimistic utopian answer, but if they were to make open contact, I think it would be to consume our art. What else could we offer that they don't have, other than biological specimens?
It's not like our art is on some objective level better than theirs, they'll want it just because this is the only place in the universe where HUMAN art is made. Everything else they could get from us, they could get without having to bulldoze over a universally unique good.

You're being way too anthropocentric. You don't need thumbs or even hands to make tools. Even birds employ rudimentary tools. Crabs don't interact with trees, are their grapsers vestigial? You're going on about vestigial arms and hands etc. but what if the arms are also legs? An octopus grasps things just as well as a human and none of those limbs are vestigial.
You're talking about needing to grasp trees, who even says there's trees? It's an alien planet, they might not even have an equivalent to plants. Firemaking? You're assuming fire is the only source of heat too, but geothermal vents found underwater are much more consistent. What about on other worlds with alien geology? And besides, it is possible to make fire underwater, it just requires different fuel sources. Magnesium burns underwater.

You're basically describing the conditions to recreate humans in particular, not any form of tool-using life. It sounds more like creationist talking points than sci-fi speculation honestly, constructing this scenario to make it all sound so incredibly specific and unlikely that it must've been magic instead

If aliens landed at the UN, said that they would, for free, restore humanity's health. They promise that they wouldn't actually alter your dna, but would cleanse your body and repair any damage.
They claim if you were malnourished as a child, you will become visibly taller. If you had an accident and lost a limb, it would regrow. However if you were born deaf, that will not be fixed as that is your natural state.
Essentially you would come out at the peak health for your individual genes. All of your biomarkers will be perfect (as they can be, for (you)).

Let's be real, human beings would post armed guards in front of the health machines and charge a fee to enter. Hell if it's at the UN then that's in manhattan. They'd throw up gigantic tolls on every tunnel and bridge and call it "congestion pricing", they'd require "non resident travel permits" that cost six figures just to GO there. Now imagine the wait times to actually get in the building, expedited for a modest fee of course.

We can handwave this by just having the aliens have the foresight to know about our bullshit.
a pop up system where they appear in every city and town, or maybe it can be spread airborne so you can do a mass amount of people at once. or maybe by saying a specific string of words you'll be visited that night

I agree but it's highly contextual and you can let your imagination run wild here, so it's fun to think about

For me, it's ayys that are so much smarter than humans that they see us like dogs and keep us as pets.

you're not using your imagination if you think that. for example, technologies like CRISPR are getting more sophisticated by the year, and it's all in the hands of psychopaths and misanthropes. think of the noble wolf becoming a dysgenic little creature like a pug for no reason other than retarded human fads. that's what evolution in human hands does. how would our species recover from our genome being mutilated beyond recognition? i think a meteor vaporizing us is a pleasant alternative.

yeah that's why I think gene editing is the actual Great Filter, and not primarily nukes or climate disaster. as soon as we start playing God and opening the console to edit our own genomes, an incredibly dark and Lovecraft-like period of living nightmares begins

NTA but I think he's right. The prosperity or progress of the human species is one thing but I think our mere existence is hardly in question. Purely because the world is teeming with us to an absurd degree now. In the distant past our genus dwindled to some thousands of individuals and still survived, in the present day that's pretty much impossible no matter what cataclysms we inflict on the planet.

Literally everything could go wrong all at once and even if 95% of humans perish, there's still more of us than there were at the height of classical antiquity. The great bustling cities of Rome and the Han dynasty, plus everywhere else, were sustained by a population smaller than the USA. Nineteen out of twenty humans could die and we'd still easily have urban technological civilization, is what I'm saying.

You'd have to kill 99.999% of humans to equal the pre-sapiens genetic bottlenecks, and those unlucky few would still have an utterly terraformed world for their habitat, plus technology, genetically adapted plants and livestock, a world where all natural predators and competitors are already driven extinct... there's really no going back to a world without hominids.

the worst part is our ability to edit the genome advances much faster than our ability to understand it. even under the best intentions, there will be horrific unintended consequences because we don't truly understand what we are changing.
then you have the Singularity that techbros like to masturbate about. it's called that because everything after that point becomes utterly unpredictable. in darwinian terms, a fundamentally unpredictable environment equals extinction.

I don't wanna get too chuddy on this Sunday afternoon, but I will say that those ancient civilisations were built by human beings instead of whatever constitutes 80% of today's world population

I like to imagine it as a unique emotion for humans and the aliens that neither can help even if both hate it. Like it goes beyond fascination and into some weird new frontier that only happens if you meet aliens. Inexplicable shit like one angrily forcing a bag of carrots into your hands and motioning for you to eat, just so it can sit and watch you do it because it makes a part of their brain light up in a way that has never happened before.

Something to also consider is more than likely we would delegate the gene editing process to an AI if it becomes standard. Which opens up all sorts of dystopian futures if AI were to ever become self aware. Doesn't matter if that's no where near reality right now, might take thousands of years but will still be a problem at some point.
An AI could take over the world not through any physical or overt means at all. But by slowly mindcontrolling or crippling (or in other truly incomprehensible ways) the entire human race, subtly, over a long period of time.

I think the james webb view of the universe tricked me into thinking we could send some sort of signal outwards towards any of that area. But we can't even get a signal to our closest neighbor in under 2.5 million years

So there's probably life everywhere but we'll never be able to tell

NTA either, but here's a counterpoint to consider:
We have already excavated all the easily accessible fossil fuels, the ones closest to the top, the low hanging fruits. As it stands right now, we need extremely powerful and complex machinery and systems put in place to continue to extract it from that deep in the earth.

What does this mean exactly? It means that, if for any reason whatsoever we lose the equipment and/or everyone capable of repairing/constructing the equipment (like in your 95% population perish scenario) we will never again have access to fossil fuel aka the driving force of industrializing, for at least 1-2 million years until new fuel forms from the current fossils. (Not just oil, but easy access coal is gone too so we won't be able to make trains on a mass scale, or any basic machines before going up on the tech tree to reach the complex machinery again to resume harvesting.)
What this means in practice is that if we do get a near-extinction event, humanity will stay at a medieval level of technology for at least a million years, only capable of looking back on the wonders that were built in the past.
>>
>>731063859
We could be able to tell, so long as that life existed millions of years ago and the light is just reaching us now. Which on a geological timescale isn't THAT long. The question is whether technological civilization can last that long or if it's always a flash in the pan so we'll never find any signs of it.

>i just can't see a light at the end of the tunnel.
lol I'm starting to wonder if we'll even be able to die eventually, the rich will start by making sure everyone in the world gets some kind of health care to get blood samples for their genome, so they can find those ultra rare magic genes that work and doesn't melt your liver, and then they'll do AI designer genomes with that information, and then try to make themselves immortal genius supermen while casually making nightmare shit like "exterminate ethnicity X" viruses that instead wipes out half the biosphere

endless possibilities for horror and there's nothing we can do

So what we have right now is basically our only chance at colonizing space. If we fuck it up here, we'll be stuck for millions of years before we can try again. We only get one shot. Better make it count.

Also he needs to drop the garbage AI stuff. I know it would go against his outlook on our technology and progress but it's not there yet.

That would mean I become at least 210cm tall (my nephew is 203cm), world-class athlete (I bench 5x120kg after 13 months of training), 25cm dick (I got 20cm).
Good deal.
