We are going to make it

WAGMI.

Humans have existed for eons. We started with stick and stone. Fast forward to the present: we sent men to the moon, we manufactured machines that think, we edit the code of life itself, we built towers that touch the skies, we created an abundance of food, and so much more.

Who are you to stand there, pessimistic about the future? Who are you in the grand scheme of the universe to declare you know the future will be negative?

Entropy rages with increasing complication, fast-forwarding, pushing the unknown. We cannot predict what will occur, but we can build towards the future with one goal: a prosperous future. There is nothing we cannot do. We’ve battled winters, diseases, wars, and come out on top.

Scarcity is behind us; we live in the best time to be alive, and yet, we’re just at the beginning of infinity, always at the tip. We only need to defeat the pessimist within us. The universe is crunching numbers based on the actions we take. The computational irreducibility of the universe cannot be predicted, but we can ensure our inputs lead us in the direction we want.

Barren lands lay still. The skies and the kingdom of the earth were there before we were, and yet we harnessed these raw resources. We harnessed electricity, the whole spectrum beyond mortal perception, and the laws of physics to achieve wonders our ancestors could not have dreamed of.

Yet here you stand, one of billions, and doubt the future will be great. You know nothing; I know nothing. But what I know is this:

The future is not set in stone. As long as we stand, we can harness the forces of the universe to create the prosperous future we want.

Rage against the stars

We are going make it.
