At one point consciousness-altering devices like the microscope and telescope
were criminalized for exactly the same reasons that psychedelic plants were banned in later years. They allow us to peer into bits and zones of Chaos.—

Open Lines and Crazy Talk

Download/Listen

My friends Justin and Josh stop by to say hi and chat a little. Space weather, some news and I introduce my theory of evolution and try to flesh it out a little bit.

Pretty simple idea - Somewhere, deep in the depths of our DNA is the knowledge that at some point in the future, the earth will be subject to an existential crisis. The sun will explode. A large asteroid will impact. The poles will shift, etc. Accompanying this knowledge, and again built into our DNA and evolutionary strategy, is the unceasing drive to find a way off of the earth before that catastrophic event occurs. Develop technology. Use all available resources and ingenuity. Risk everything. All to free ourselves from the prison that is the Earth. The only real, long term survival strategy of the species must be to leave the Earth and populate other worlds outside of this one.
