September 20, 20241 yr WHY? Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

Noel Because we are made of star stuff, we are made of the universe, we are part of the universe... so we are an example of the universe becoming conciouss, aware of its own existence. That's a remarkable fact, a wonderful thing. Unlikely, but possible, that we are the only sentient species in the galaxy, so even more precious is our existence. Yes, humans are capable of bad things, but we are also capable of good. So we may find that sometime in the future our unpleasant side diminishes and we become something quite remarkable. So yes, store our genes. No sense in not bothering to preserve our species, if we can.

September 22, 20241 yr I saw this genome thing on the Twilight Zone 2nd season.

Biologically, yes, but society and behaviour change more rapidly. For example, in medieval times the murder rate was fifty times higher than now. Many aspects of society in ancient times would be regarded as abhorrent today. If the human race is to survive far into the future we must become more benevolent as a society. That process seems to be happening. Let's hope it out paces any self induced existential threats.
