that we are alone. It's nonsensical of course but… eugh it gives me the shivers thinking that humans could be the 'be all end all' of sentient, intelligent life.

same

>>1898
We are definitely not alone.

Yeah, I’d have to go with this one being scarier. The ENTIRE fucking universe, and humans are the exclusive rare anomaly of sentient intelligence forming out of carbon atoms. It shifts the paradigm of life being a “thing” towards life just being “one of many one-off quirks in the universe’s buggy code”. Because then who knows what else is out there that’s as rare and phenomenal as life, yet NOT life? What else can random arrangements of atoms do that we haven’t witnessed?

>>1899
my god lmao I've never thought of it that way… that's way worse

That we are alone, because that would imply that life somehow destroys itself at some point in its development.

that we are not alone.
the idea that we are alone doesnt scare me because theres nothing to be scared of. of were alone that means theres nothing malicious to threaten us that we dont know about. i think that this is unlikely though, im sure that there is other intelligent life out there.

>there must be A despite no evidence
>but there isn't, i.e. no evidence, why?
>there must be B stopping A, yes that's why
lol

So what is your explanation to the Fermi paradox?

>>2169
Simple, the government's hiding aliens from the public eye.
If you've researched this enough, or even just gone outside at night sometimes, you'd know that there's no way aliens don't exist

that we are alone. we somehow won ludicrously compounded lotteries only for such a vile species to be the pinnacle of creation. there has to be something superior to us out there, otherwise reality truly is hell.
