Rare Earth by Peter Ward is what you’re after here. I took an elective in college that effectively was reading a bunch of space science (and history, it was odd) and discussing. This one caught me off guard but was a decent breakdown of a possible answer to Fermi.

I don’t necessarily agree with the supposition, mainly because it still comes from a place of specifically carbon-based life as the end goal. But they do lay out reasoning in an easy to understand way that was super neat to learn.

Nope.

Personally? Nationalism & nation states. The longer they stay around, the more likely everyone is to think they’re more deserving of X, and pull the literal and metaphorical trigger that leads to hitting the filter.

I recognize that individuality is very much our thing, but that will literally only take you so far.

While I enjoyed the series as a whole, it was a little underwhelming to me. There’s nothing wrong with the sentimate shared, that we make who we are; I think it’s more about how the show itself set up a grand reveal as a twist.

The mother being completely unable to be found the whole time, then suddenly UNIT finds all her info after the 3rd act finale was really what was frustrating after the buildup of the series.

I loved the 4th wall breaks of the gods themselves, and the old neighbor hinted as one of the harbingers at the first episodes as well when thinking back.

The idea that the god of death has been along for the ride this whole time is a sweet idea, but wrapped up so quickly that the punch wasn’t felt. I can see why, as the whole gimmick with him was that he just kills everyone.

Aight, so long as we’re including other religious texts and having the class be a deep dive into similarities and differences and what might make the “human condition” between all of them, I’m game.

Oh no? Just American Christianity? Sounds like something that goes against the Constitution there.
