"You want to... leave the planet? With aliens you just met?"

Listen, the bar is pretty low. I'll take my chances and will probably be fine with pretty much anything that isn't prolonged neglect/indifference or intentional torture. If you make contact after interstellar travel I'm just gonna assume you're cool and got things covered. And if nothing else you could probably put my brain in a roomba so I can weld in space or something.

TL;DR it don't matter, none of this matters.

I was having that thought on the way to work. I don't get paid enough. I'm stressed. The stress makes me anxious and now I'm eating bad and can't sleep. People have to be encouraged to join unions? Wtf. We could totally Bugs Life this shit and everything would be so much better...

Or would it? I guess not. We'd mess it up. We would only find more creative and terrible ways to subject, destroy, and hurt. Just to be happy - which isn't really something you CAN be. You can have happy moments and memories and encounters, but happiness is something you do. Not a magical state you reach.

Listen I may be high as Fuck, but if I can pretend slash delude myself into moments of happiness while my species pillages the planet and canibalizes itself alive - then yeah. I think any alien would be better than every one of us.

I'd rather be killed by an Alien then to rot in a pine box
