Help, going insane because I can't find this post I read long ago. Does it ring any bell? It could have been from tumblr, from reddit or even from a screenshot on instagram. But I vividly remember reading it and never being the same after. Basically, it was saying that everything we did, as a species, showed how incredibly lonely we feel. Especially searching space for aliens. We're 7 billions humans on Earth. We befriend every animal that can be befriended, from tiny insects to elephants. We pretend inanimate object are alive, whether it's our childhood plushy or a little rover sent on Mars. No human being is really alone. But we're terrified by the thought that we might be "alone in the universe". The only highly intelligent species in this universe. We're terrified to the point we sent messages and capsules into space in the hope of reaching someone. Just to say "we're here!" and "please respond!" Every frequency coming from space, every weird thing in the sky we can't explain: "it's an unknown species trying to communicate, it's aliens coming to visit us!" Some dedicate their money and life to scrutinize space as far as they possibly can and wait to catch anything, anything that could be a sign. Human beings are incredibly lonely creatures who are terrified by the thought that no one is out there to answer their call.

We could be together for millions of light years.. 🤩🪐🪐🔭🔭

After all, nothing brings people together like singing bohemian rhapsody.

I was thrilled when I heard of the idea of a space nation. Now, not so much anymore. Watch as Full Frontal with Samantha Bee dives deep into the oligarch turned space royal who founded Asgardia. Of course his followers are 85% men. 🤦‍♀️

I guess I’m having a Star Trek Ate My Brain day 8l
