  • Don’t apologize, I didn’t mean to invalidate your thoughts. Until we’ve found other life, everything is possible. Maybe they all are slightly different humanoids with similar problems. In fact, many theories about why we haven’t found anything yet are based on the very same assumption.

    I just meant to add some additional food for thought.

    That is a very human centric way to approach it. For starters, we don’t even know if other life has to be carbon based, let alone in which environments it exists. There could be an entirely different ruleset to their reproduction and of course their society. And even ignoring all these things, they could simply advance a lot faster, outpacing climate change and declining populations. Heck, we could be outpacing these problems if we never stopped puring endless ressources into space travel, but alas, capitalism deemed it unworthy.




  • Some are great. Take the Chrome one: Go to wikipedia and know something about pretty much everything. A lot of knowledge is useful even if you don’t properly understand everything.

    Youtube is a lesser version of Chrome.

    What’sApp entirely depends on how easily gullible rich people would give you money. You could probably just sell those information too.

    Netflix and Amazon could yield some nice money.

    Spotify would massively decrease the barrier of learning new instruments if you’re into that. But many of the benefits can be achieved by scrolling through notes/lyrics with the Chrome benefit.
