I really liked the premise of eulogies being done with brutal honesty, not the bullshit you usually hear about how wonderful everyone is after they are dead

It's hilarious we know a tiny measure of the boundless limitless nature of our universe that our puny minds can't even begin to fathom with all the possibility, and all we can come up with in our mass imagination is fighting insects in space :)

the insectoids were nice fellas

24 Jun 01:48

EduardoGaray

24 Jun 01:47

Amit Dutta

Can't we all just get along. Think of the little insectoid space babies

very interesting yeah, but flawed. It also assumes that other alien civs might be similar to our own, it find more probable to find life so alien that we probably couldnt recognize each other as lifeforms like enders game or eureka seven

24 Jun 01:41

EduardoGaray

ah yeah it was that one!
