>the limitations that were born in a privatized system are not a valid critique against a privatized system

Is /sci/ the lowest IQ 4chan board?

Consider two things. How long have we been recognizably homo sapiens, the builder of great wonders on this planet? 10,000 years? 14,000 maybe? The blink of an eye in cosmic terms, and we are already taking our first steps into the great cosmic unknown, driven not by necessity but curiosity.

Now, how long did we spend as an anatomically correct but primitive animal; prehistoric man? 150,000 years or so? And before that we were just another weird animal on the plains, not doing anything important.

150,000 years. Our whole existence. 10,000 as a barely civilized creature to a baby in LEO.

What are the odds there's a civilization that is matching up exactly? That they are taking their first baby steps JUST as we are taking ours? In all the billions of years this universe has existed?

Practically zero. If they exist, they should be a noticeably presence in the galaxy. And yet it is utterly quiet out there. It's spooky.

We are probably alone, though there may have been giants that came before. I wonder if we will find their ruins, their temples. Their great wonders in the dust.

What if the universe isn't expanding? What if everything inside is just shrinking?

How many tampons would it take to absorb all the ocean water?
