Because it’s not immediately relevant to day-to-day life?

[Anonymous No.11916778]

Because it's actually impossible to really appreciate the size of space.

[Anonymous No.11916797]

When I realized that most people never think about space, have no interest in it, have never even questioned what all this shit is - that’s when I realized the truth that the NPC meme ain’t a meme. Religious people are just running on scripts.

>People are too fucking stupid and aren't interested in what is the place they live in. By exploring an researching the universe new technologies, new types of philosophy and a better life can emerge.

You can think that this Earth is all we got and we should not leave it as much as you want.
Just like the first beings came to land, people who believe in scientific and technological development must leave people who think otherwise behind.

And that is evolution.

it’s not really an interest we’re talking about, it’s more like basic curiosity. and yeah if you aren’t curious about the nature of reality you don’t deserve to be called a person.

Tens of thousands of stars you can see. Trillions upon trillions that you can't. I don't think we are alone anon. Imagine how many different combinations of chemicals have come together and bonded, and what sort of molecular combinations have produced that phenomena known on earth as consciousness. What sorts of foods would they eat, what mind altering drugs would effect them. How would they percieve light, and what spectrums could they view. How would their brain anatomy affect how they perceive the physical world, and what sorts of technology and art would they find pleasing and ascetic. What chemicals could we add to our own minds, what sort of dna codes are needed to see the colors they see. Can they be added to our own. Would they find anything of the human race of chemically or molecularly of interest to them. Maybe they don't come here for humans, but dophins, plants, slime molds, or funguses. Life is the most precious resource on earth. Its a pity we kill so much of it. Would the aliens see us as essentially hostile to life, and the universe itself, and by extension themselves if they saw our factory farms? What if they wanted to consume us rather than befriend us? Maybe we are just too distant from whatever corner of the galaxy or universe holds the resources useful to them.
I would bet they have already come to earth. Life here might have even been brought by alien beings, or perhaps we ourselves are alien to this planet, galaxy, or even universe.

Let me put to cavemen languange to you, since that is what you and your descendants will become:

Earth = Big space rock = Humans dead

But if we colonize other planes

Earth = big space rock = humanity not dead

I really hope your 90 neurons can compute this data I presented to you, I'm really worried it will kill you.

Anyways, kill yourself.

Everyone who didn’t go through a phase where they were consumed by space is stupid, possibly to the point where they aren’t sapient. So to answer your question OP: stupidity.

What’s your problem? I’m guessing you have some non-sapient friends or family. An interest in space is a fundamental requirement for a person, since it represents curiosity.

Golly you are incredibly stupid friend. Explain how an actual human can look up at the sky and not wonder what is up there, how big it is, and why they’re here? It’s impossible. You literally have to be a scripted bot to just overlook the fact that you’re on a spinning sphere in space.

I'm not going to explain to you why people don't all have the same experience and the same wonders growing up. That should be evident.
If you said something like "people who have no curiosity about anything in the world" then I would agree. I could just as easily say something like
>people who don't think about what happens when we cook our food, when we see it change structure and go from inedible to edible, yet we do this every day, don't have the right to be called human
you're free to agree or disagree with this but hopefully you see how your line of thinking can be applied to literally anything, and just because you picked >muh space doesn't make your interests any more fundamental

[Anonymous No.11916949]

>>11916916

Imagine this:

You are a futuristic human society, you want new members BUT, you know from history that many humans of the past were incredibly fucking stupid to the point of believing a planet is flat and acting like a chimpanze when anything space related is brought up.

So, why would you allow random beings come into life when you can generate them in a simulation and pick only the best of the best, sentient beings?

With that in mind I do think it's possible that I'm a simulated AI being generated to live among superior beings and these religious american cletuses are nothing but scripted bots made to make us follow the right path, that or they are also simulated AI that failed and will not be introduced into the real universe, they are in eternal limbo, you might say.

I'm curious about all things at all times, if I'm not watching an Youtube video about space, I'm watching one about the deep oceans, or about animal life on Earth.

Space, biology and technology are the three big things that all humans should be curious about, not all the time of course.

You’re looking at space as another interest which it isn’t. It is more fundamental. Every night there are mysterious glowing orbs peppered throughout the sky. The number of people who don’t even know those are others suns is hilarious.

>the interest in trees is fundamental. everywhere there are mysterious brown and green monoliths peppered throughout the land. the number of people who don't know these are different types is hilarious
>the interest in clouds is fundamental. every day there are these mysterious white fluffs peppered throughout the sky. the number of people who can't tell the difference is hilarious.
>the interest in language is fundamental. everywhere on earth there are different sounds being produced to communicate information. the number of people who don't know how to speak these is hilarious.
