Late Night Thoughts With Achi: Consider- the reason humans yearn for sapient life out amongst the stars is because after evolving alongside other sapient species from our genus they've all been gone for like 40k years and we're lonely.

#we had other close members of homo around for so long #most of our evolution #and then they all just died off #and the closest thing we've got is the fuckers over in pan #and it's just not the same #i propose humanity yearns to have another sapient species around because we lost the ones we had before #i mean picture it from the perspective of ancient humans #you grow up around these fuckers and you start seeing less and less of them #and they're just- they've always been there you've been undergoing cultural exchanges and your cousin's grandma was one and so on #but there's fewer of them when you're young #and fewer when your kids are #your great-grandkids never see one #but they're still remembered they're still talked about #they become a remnant in the memory of a species #and even though nobody ever sees one of them again they know they should be out there somewhere #and even millennia later- when we've trawled the world and know for a fact that we're all that's left #we look to the sky and go 'there has to be someone out there somewhere'#there just has to be #because we didn't used to be alone #they were *family* they were *there*#there has to be someone #....damn that got emotional there...
