It just might be that you have to go very slowly, potentially, as an example, through space.

So I'm suspicious, basically, of our ability to measure life, and I'm suspicious of the ability to just permeate all of space in the galaxy or across galaxies.

And that's the only way that I can currently see a way around it.

Or they're all just independent.

They're all just like little pockets.

Some of them happen to be close, yeah.

Yeah, I think the question, it's really hard.

I will say, like, for example, for us, we have lots of primitive life forms on Earth next to us.

We have all kinds of ants and everything else, and we share a space with them.

And we are hesitant to impact on them, and we're trying to protect them by default because they are amazing, interesting, dynamical systems that took a long time to evolve, and they are interesting and special.

And I don't know that you want to...

destroy that by default.

And so I like complex dynamical systems that took a lot of time to evolve.

I think

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.
