nope sorry, wokeism demands gender neutrality.

I am waiting for a “trans-species” dog to win a cat show.

Yes it is, if the probability is non zero, it will happen given enough time.

Can you explain how knowledge is stored in the brain and it can’t be seen? How did that ‘happen?’

The same way it’s stored on a computer and can’t be seen.

Well…similar.

Why do you think it’s some great mystery?

It is one of the most watched things in America. My wife watches it every year and so do her friends.

In 2019 3.9 million americans watched it putting slightly above Miss Universe at 3.8. Sunday Night Football claims 20 million viewers. NCIS got around 15.3 million.

Umm how does that relate to that post?

Guess it’s not as watched as it use to be

If there was a dog in a cat show, everyone would vote for it.

However broadly I agree- a Star Trek like future is probably highly unlikely. Technological civilizations, if there a lot of them, are likely highly distributed across a curve, and the odds the “mean” civilization would be at the interstellar spacefaring level in a given time period is likely also very very small.

It also seems to me the assumption that all civilizations will strive to ‘advance’ to cosmic star gazing and eventual interstellar travel is wrong.

There is no requirement that all life forms seek to ‘advance’ in the same manner as humans.

This is true also.

There may be advanced cultures who are genetically predisposed to strive for steady state, for example, and so never progress to more and more technology.

Especially if they evolve in a natural environment where there isn’t as much scarcity as there was in the savanna.

Agree.

But this blows holes in some of the best sci fi out there.

Have you read Three Body Problem?

Does Trump still own Miss Universe?

I believe he sold it back in 2015. If he didn’t I would have thought this was some lame attempt at getting him riled up.

WHAT IF this was a public relations ruse to promote the contestant as a trans but is in reality a genetic woman with OEM mommy parts?
The judging gone woke falls for it and now on to the bigger prizes where “wokeism” prevails exclusively and the Nevada contestant wins it all afterward revealing the scam!!
Vindication for the ladies.

You are trying to introduce a second joke. Okay. That’s something.

Right, but I guess I should reiterate that I was discussing a technological upper limit.

‘Life’ didn’t outrun carrying capacity - or whatever turn of phrase captures relative equilibrium and niche balance over time.

Technique did. We are non-estrus breeders and over a hundred years time, unevenly but quite thoroughly, we broke our own equilibrium. It was not because how we reproduce. We’ve always been free breeders… It wasn’t because we have good endosomatic memory. It wasn’t because hubris. It wasn’t even because of decent, but slow-stable exosomatic technique sharing.

Techniques now produce cascades of multiplying and intensifying feedback loops because ‘we’ figured out how to escape our population equilibrium, and mostly on the wavefront of a single, liberating fuel source.

And humans are proving very very good at spreading savannahs where they don’t ‘belong’.
