Not gonna lie, I'm becoming less of an atheist and more of an anti-theist by the day

Genocides are how we know civilizations aren't yet ready for space exploration.

The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every ‘superstar,’ every ‘supreme leader,’ every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.

Goddamn my man that really does put it down on the page nicely. That's Feynman right?

Sagan. Feynman would insert several anecdotes about how clever he was an how much sex he had in there.

6 years would have been nice... The Rohyngia are still being killed and the Yazidi genocide stopped 3 years ago?

Happy to report that some present genocides are not religious though 😬

Ah I did a quick Google and saw the rohyngia genocide started 6 years ago so I just went with it
