I'd like to preserve it if I can afford to.

And I'd like to think that the same would be true about the galactic resources and that they would think that we're kind of incredible, interesting story that took time.

It took a few billion years to unravel and you don't want to just destroy it.

Yeah, I think you would need like a very good reason, I think, to destroy it.

Like, why don't we destroy these ant farms and so on?

It's because we're not actually like really in direct competition with them right now.

We do it accidentally and so on, but there's plenty of resources.

And so why would you destroy something that is so interesting and precious?

You might want to learn something from it, right?

I think it should be very interesting to scientists, other alien scientists, what happened here.

And what we're seeing today is a snapshot.

Basically, it's a result of a huge amount of computation.

over like billion years or something like that.

Or to understand life or what life looks like and what branches it can take.

I'm suspicious of this idea of a deliberate panspermia, as you described it, sort of.

I don't see a divine intervention in some way in the historical record right now.

I do feel like the story...

in these books, like Nick Lane's books and so on, sort of makes sense.

And it makes sense how life arose on Earth uniquely.

And yeah, I don't need to reach for more exotic explanations right now.
