In my
previous blogpost, I wrote about the choice that Humanity has – either a long,
slow, drawn out death or a quick, fast death for humanity.
Now, let me
talk about another choice that Humanity has.
This is a choice
that many people have already talked about, it’s not a radical thought. This is
just my take on the idea.
The question/choice
is this: Where is Humanity headed?
I am not
going into the questions of the purpose of humanity/life. Because, I am of the
opinion that humanity/ life does not have a purpose. Yes, I am not a Nihilist. But, in the sense humanity/life by itself or intrinsically
does not have a purpose.
But I believe
that Humanity can setup a purpose for itself and work together for it.
Yes, I know
– for entire Humanity to agree on a common goal is impossible. This is just a
thought experiment.
Imagine,
what do most humans do during their life time – literally nothing. Humans are born,
live, grow, study, work, marry, procreate, die. What is it that we achieve in
that lifetime. Yes, there are exceptions to the rule.
I believe
we should set a goal – finding a Fast Than Light (FTL) engine to spread
humanity over the Galaxy; finding whether there is life outside of our Solar
System.
Other things
that Humanity wastes time/effort/money on should be redirected. Yes, I understand
– we never know from where a breakthrough could come that could be used in
another industry.
The reason
why I am suggesting such a aim for Humanity is – otherwise what else are Humans
doing. And, how are humans different from other animals.
