I’ve been looking for a new series, Ill check out Silo

You see, I myself was conflicted.

On one hand, I can see how repeated frequent personal tragedies of violence can break a person to the point that they hate everyone they see. I can sympathise with that, growing up I was the arbitrary target at school and at home most of the time. It brought me to some really dark places in the past. Things are much better now but it leaves a stain, it lurks.

On the other hand, she was explicitly warned that Trisolarans were looking to conquer a new planet and just flat out ignored it. I get being angry and depressed but willfully stupid in an otherwise smart person is much harder to forgive. I mean, she discovered ETI… become famous? Naaahhhh lets doom everyone because I’m mad at the government.

That scene really stuck with me

Have you read The Locked Tomb series?

Did you agree with her decision to send the second message? Why or why not?

A good point, and the fact that we dont see evidence of solarsystems being wiped out when we look into space makes me hopefull that super high intellegence is fundamentaly incompatible with agression

Not to mention the signal degrades, and the signals from the ww2 era have only reached 80 light years away. Any farther away and the signal has not reached them yet

Here is my take on it. It all depends on if there is some sort of hard limit on how much we can accelerate an object with mass in space.

If we are capped at say, 25% of the speed of light we will most likely never meet our intragalactic neighbours. The times scales and distances involved are insurmountable and economically they would have no reason to attempt travel to another inhabited planet. The journey is too dangerous on many levels to be worth attempting. No reason to contact, no reason to fight, many closer resouces in our respective solar neighbourhoods that wont shoot missiles at us.

If we live in a universe that allows for FLT or even just 99.9999 percent of c then the alien overlords are already aware of us and are chill enough to leaves us be for the most part. So it really almost doesnt matter in my opinion.

I did love the 3 body problem trilogy, Liu Cixin is a master story teller.

I love your username, Dr_Satan

Im going to avoid saying that in the future, lesson learned

I was using our social construct of race as a (bad) metaphore for species selection when deciding how much to support other trees. But now a second person is digging at it, thats a sign for me to discard that descriptor in future conversations. And only plant semen for me please.

I can get behind that

Would speciest have suited you better? Obviously trees dont know about our social construct of race

Thank you for taking the time to write such an informed response :)

I personaly belive their ‘thought proccess’ as limited as it is functions via the movement and increase/decrease of hormones. I think this because of how you can make marijuana plants do different things by adjusting their light cycles and ambient temperatures, or just blowing an oscillating fan over them and trimming them a certain way. That is just my uneducated guess

I definetly dont think trees are holding debate forums lol

Dont tell the vegetarians I guess

To be honest, it kind of makes me sad. Is the fresh totatoe I eat alive when I bite it?

This is why when people laugh at me for saying things like trees have concsiousness, and are kinda racist, I dont care. Science needs to catch up to intuition sometimes and Im not good at math so Im not going to be able to prove that tree’s have a rudimentary form of cognition and intention.

Anyways, someone else already proved trees make decisions, cant remember where I read it but a big oak will feed baby oaks via root contact, and will feed certain other trees too, but not as much, because it favours its own species.

Just name the kid Basic, hardly worse than the Trahgedhieghs running around today

Sencha waits?? What a good cat. If I dont let my chonky boy in to drink from the tap while I eliminate he will trash the door and rip up the carpet. Yes he has a water dish, he just likes the tap more.

Also Sencha is very pretty!
