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

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

Albert Einstein
