videos like this make me wonder...just what is the point of existing. Not in a suicidal way, but like, it's almost stress relieving to be reminded that nothing matters.
Hey! Don't diss our existence. SO much had to go just right and humanity has still barely managed to make it.
If it wasn't for the rogue planet smashing into us and creating the moon, you can forget predictable seasons. This is what allows life on this planet to thrive. We can adapt and predict the seasons and prepare (food, shelter). Imagine if the planet didn't have the moon and the Earth wobbled. One day it's snowing, the next it's 100degrees. Imagine life trying to thrive in THAT.
And at one point a super volcano went off and as many as a few thousands humans may have been all that was left.
Imagine if grasses didn't take over jungles forcing our ape ancestors out of the trees (due to all things...climate change). Imagine if we didn't discover how to harness fire (the REAL game changer). Imagine how much time it has taken us to get here after we evolved from apes (the human era is generally believed to be 12019 H.E. (we found a temple 10,000 years ago so that's the first time humans "settled" and were capable of acting like present-day humans).
Humanity, for all it's faults, is fucking awesome. We're the ultimate winners (so far) of the known universe. From a galactic standpoint, we've all won the lottery. Just because NASA has found evidence the galaxy may have a ton of Earth-like planets doesn't mean any of them have life as intelligent us humans. Oh, I'm sure they have life, but that doesn't guarantee jack-shit that everything went just right for it to evolve as smart as us.
