It's really dangerous.
And so then you're like, what the hell?
You have people at NASA who are studying angels and demons?
It's really weird.
Do they have a taxonomy?
Do they have megavolt ranges that they associate?
I don't know.
It's fascinating what...
Yeah, no, totally.
It's a great question.
And I think you're touching on, like, not only is it unlikely, it's literally statistically unlikely that they would be bipedal, upright, hominid-looking beings.
If you think about it, you have, in the Milky Way galaxy, like, estimated 20 billion Earth-like planets.
So that's what people always cite.
They're always like, but there are 20 billion Earth-like planets, so they would look like us.
And then you take a step back and you go...
Okay, but there are like over a trillion likely non-Earth-like planets.
So the likelihood of evolutionary convergence to this bipedal hominid upright, you know, creature, which by the way is somewhat rare on Earth, is...
It's just extremely slim in an environment that, you know, Earth-like we're saying generously, like doesn't have the same, you know, gravity as us, doesn't have the same weather, doesn't have the same, you know, levels of, you know, nitrogen in the air or whatever.
Like it's just, it's really unlikely that they look like not only us, but they look like what a conventional evolutionary biologist would say humans look like in the future.
Mm-hmm.
