wow, excellent post @andrarchy.

I felt such a Rick and Morty feeling when I was reading through it. Its kinda crazy considering how fast technology is accelerating and when and what the humans next evolution will be. I'm guessing augmentation will be involved and be as normal as tattoos are nowadays.

What if the whole goal is for us to create another tiny universe that we can spectate and see if other intelligent species form in their world. What if that has already happened and if we at one point would direct a giant telescope into a random part of the universe at some point and notice a huge eye staring back at you.

Damn, I don't know what's scarier really, all other intelligent life forms there may be in our universe and how far evolved they are, or maybe being the only intelligent life to make it miraculously this far and then being stuck on a world that's filled with greed burning it down and knowing that's all there is.

Didn't mean to get too philosophical.
