  1.  @citizen127at  Dude, let me repeat this: you don't need a lot of energy. All you need is patience, which you clearly don't have. ;-)

  2. Why is everybody afraid of AI? Are you afraid of people who are smarter than you? They are not the ones who are threating you. It's the stupid ones that you have to be afraid of. They are the ones starting bar brawls and wars.

  3. Not everybody is a gamer. Serious people are mountain climbers and astronauts.

  4. Yes, and most planets will start with reducing atmospheres. Earth's oxygen atmosphere is an afterthought that was created by life, which almost killed itself when it did that. There is no hard step there. Neither is prebiotic chemistry a hard step if we go by evidence from Earth's development timeline. The hardest step may have been from single to multicellular life, after that evolution was extremely rapid. Brains took a while but the development of human intelligence happened in the blink of an evolutionary eye. The transition to artificial life and intelligence which is happening now will take less than a century.

  5. By sending its blueprints to other civilizations over radio.

  6. The universe itself is sending you a signal from 300,000 years after the first second of the big bang. That signal can be detected with little more than a slightly larger tv antenna, despite the fact that it came form across 45 billion light years or so. The universe doesn't set any limits on communication within at least the local group of galaxies. If somebody wants to talk to you, they can.

  7. Why not? It's not like a civilization can hide.

  8.  @almightybunny3320  Yeah, that's scifi bullshit. Anybody who wants to visit your system can and once they are up close you can't hide.

  9. A galactic civilization doesn't need FTL. One can populate an entire galaxy within less than one galactic rotation with chemical rockets and in ten million years with nuclear rockets, which are very, very easy to build for anybody who has the taste for them. We have built successful fission engines in the 1960s.

  10. Because if you can have everything, then you have nothing.
