@ianthealy Why do you want Apophis to visit?
@AskTheDevil Apophis the asteroid.
@AskTheDevil The great thing is we don't have to LET them do anything.
They just happen regardless.
@AskTheDevil You have a much less cynical view of humanity than I do.
@ianthealy That's because I'm a Cynic. We've been aware that the world isn't as good as it could be, and doggedly believing we can still make it be, when the Stoics were still in short pants.
@ianthealy We have thumbs, limbs, and big forebrains. There's nothing about the structure of humans that leads me to believe they are at their best sitting around waiting for things to happen to them.
That's plants.
