We're mostly not here, except those handful of rotations around an otherwise unremarkable star. Nature has provided the slimmest conditions for humanity to spend an outsized proportion of energy thinking about our impending doom, and how we might delay that slightly, or make the intervening years a bit more comfortable and entertaining.
From Nature came everything; the good, bad, and the ugly.
I just got back from my first air show, in McMinnville, and the energy expenditure was worth it. F18 on afterburners tearing a hole in the sky was awesome. F15s and F16s too.
An uncaring nature produced beings that care, and now every leaked secret will be leveraged toward our interests.
