Carlin does it for me. Cuts through the shit like no other.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesman and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.

Some scientist somewhere designs a miniature universe in some lab. Unbeknownst to him, it would lead to a cyber battle here :D :D :D

And who should "invite" us into space? God? The aliens? Who is the gatekeeper?

Take a look around the world TT. If you were the gatekeeper would you extend an invitation?

I am not a gatekeeper, haha. Wouldn't have wanted to be either.

And human curiousity, the thirst for knowledge, does not wait for any invitation. Thankfully.

The only thirst that humans try to quench is the one they have for conquering. There are those out here that really do want to explore...

I think this might be what Oz is getting at:
“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

Albert Einstein

“All our lauded technological progress -- our very civilization - is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.”

Albert Einstein
