Just in case, I keep Slim Whitman on my playlist.
Slim Whitman? Just how bad can alien torture be?Just in case, I keep Slim Whitman on my playlist.
The authors spent a paragraph contrasting the two and I think they did a fair job. But, then, I am not a nuclear physicist. And I doubt that you are, as well. It's really more about the salient features (benefits and risks) of each, anyway. If they can make working fusion reactors small enough to fit in shipping containers, that could mean something to our future.The entire article from the OP was misinformed clabtrap.
We're the trailer park of the cosmos. Nobody wants to come here and they all fly by saying "look at that shit hole"

Funny, the guys at work told me to watch Joe Rogan's podcast with Cmmdr. Farvor and that led me to the podcast with Lazar which describes most of these exact things........(cue Twilight Zone music)
I’ve often wondered what it would be like with more than 2 parties?
Perhaps.
More accurately....other than the thin veneer, a few hundred feet at the most, where life resides on the surface of out "Pale Blue Dot" there is nary a shred of evidence of any other life in our universe. Hundreds of thousands of trillions of stars and with planets are likely. Is it likely that we are alone and unique. Or maybe that supposition is wrong.
Earth: The one place, so far as we know, that self replicating collections of complex molecules have spontaneously appeared and evolved to wonder where we came from .
We muse about wether there is some semblance of a purpose for our being!
HKS

There are some good hard reasons for believing that were are possibly the only intelligent life to exist. See previous post.That is delusional, self centered thinking. I exist, therefore there has to be a purpose to my existence, or god or coincidence wouldn't have bothered!
There's trillions upon trillions of stars, worlds without end, and why would life spring up on only one of them. Even here, life evolved in the most hellish places. We might not even recognize alien life, and the distances are so huge, we might never encounter it.

Delusional? How so?
Your posting that "I exist, therefore there has to be a purpose to my existence..." is just conjecture.
For the 3,500 millions of years that life has been evolving on earth the only objective and verifiable purpose of all those species and organisms has been to deliver a tiny packet of genetic information to the next generation. Speculating that humans might be different? I have no quarrel with that.
Regarding my other point. Read my words carefully.
I would never ever say that we know that life exists only on earth.
What I will say again, to re-state.....we have not a shred of evidence of life other than on our planet.
