Hey. Hey.

You.

Take your hand off your dick for a second, I wanna say something.

You're not relevant.

You haven't been relevant since the Berlin Wall came down and that's starting to look like a loooong time ago.

Remember how Game Theory said the best possible choice in the Cold War was to launch lots of lovely nukes and feel maybe a little guilty?

Remember how that didn't happen?

Remember how the best option in the prisoner's dilemma is to sell out? Remember how people cooperate anyway, more often than you'd think?

Humanity: Fuck Yeah isn't entirely a dick-waving contest, and no one cares to see yours right now. Put your mighty three inches away and think about this.

We're not dead. The aliens haven't killed us yet. Maybe someday they will, but "kill them first" is a 10-year-old's solution to that.

What would /sci/ rather have? An unmarked grave for we pink monkeys, spinning third from Sol? Or an epitaph a galaxy large, written in seared planets orbitting dying stars, a "We were here, and we didn't want anyone else to be either"?

Yeah, they both suck. How about we spend those resources trying to move Neptune into one of Jupiter's stable Lagrange points instead? That'd be cool. We could send out self-replicating postcards of it.

'Cause the only way to eliminate every threat to yourself is to be everyone's best friend. Anyone with me, or do you prefer wanking over imagined interferometry images of the Acturian Hyperpuppies' planetary crust melting?
