Stephen Hawking: Abandon the Earth

Stephen Hawking: Abandon the Earth

Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking has some advice for the people of Earth - it's time to get off.

"I believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space," Hawking said to Big Think , a global forum that includes interviews with experts.

"It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster on planet Earth in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand, or million. The human race shouldn't have all its eggs in one basket, or on one planet. Let's hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load."

MY RESPONSE:

I've been saying this for decades upon decades now!!!!

My grandfather was of the opinion that we shouldn't even be messing with outerspace. I agree with him, but not for his reasons. I agree with him, because Frank Zappa and George Carlin were right.

Until we humans pull our head out of our individual and collective arse, there's no point in taking what humanity has to offer out into the solar system or the galaxy or the universe or the multiverse. Until we get our act together right here on Mother Earth and realize and actualize the DOCTRINE of ONENESS (or IDIC for you Trekkies and Trekkers out there), then ... there's really no point in taking our stupidity and insanity and violence and our devotion to enabling WAR CORPORATISM beyond our beautiful Big Blue Marble.

Seriously, folks! Get it together! And that goes tripple for the Powers-That-Be that fuel our economy (and their lust for power) on War Corporatism.

Hey, Mr. Money Bags! There's gold in them there hills! Stop killing and start exploring! What!? You can't somach the vision of Gene Roddenberry? Did the movie AVATAR teach you nothing!? We've got abundant energy and a plethora of resources in OUTER SPACE! YET, we don't have to make and drop bombs in order to earn a bucket, feel powerful and get our rocks off on our ability to destroy. We need only become explorers and utilizers of the myriad of resources that our Beloved Heavenly Father has given to us as our PATRIMONY! In order to do this, we have to first respect ourselves and learn to respect OTHERS!!!

Pull your head out and get a freaking clue, already! Start loving and stop hating! Start being your brother's keeper and stop being your brother's murderer! Is that so freaking difficult!?!?!? It's only like one of the first (or second) lessons we learn from the Holy Scriptures, no? Hello, McFly!!!!

Look.... It's simple.... Our sun is eventually going to fizzle out. We'll eventually have to leave this tiny stellar life raft and venture out into space anyways. Unless, of course, we've got a collective Death Wish! I say, let's start turning to OUTER SPACE if for no other reason than that of the Boy Scout motto - BE PREPARED! Let's put away our freaking knifes and start loving one another and work together to leave this wonderful planet BEFORE it's too late. Isn't that logical? Doesn't that make more sense than screwing unto others before they screw unto you?

::::heavy sigh:::: I write and no one reads.... What's the point? :(
