At work last night. Lady who oversees the care of one of my individuals comes by to see said individual.
I stopped her at the door to take her temp because “I have to”.
I told her “Sorry I have to in case you’re one of those who are afraid of it”
This woman looks at me and says “Oh no it’s okay. I’ve had my shots”
She must have thought I was laughing with her as I took her temp to tell her she’s not special, and not at her, but I was most certainly laughing at her. First of all , those shots don’t work. Secondly, if I ever say “I’ve had my shots” like I’m a dog and my papers are up to date, please just shoot me ?
No, I have never heard of the “dark forest” theory regarding space although it doesn't sound convincing given how many disobedient people are created here on Earth.
If extraterrestrials have free will then I expect 1% of %1 to have the "fuck you" gene.
The whole that I see in the theory is that any civilization who is advanced enough to be space faring would likely be peaceful. Can’t attain that level of advancement while being bogged down with war and disagreement
