      Meanwhile modern consumer hardware starts breaking down after like a year, and it’s not by accident. So many global resources are wasted by planned obsolescence that I don’t think we’ll ever really know the full cost. All for what, to deepen the pockets of a few rich cunts? I bet the solution to the Fermi paradox is that all of the other advanced alien civilizations have people that are just as greedy as our own and bring their downfall in order to make a quick buck.
