It's funny to imagine that this might be not how life on Earth started.
We won’t do it though because it’s unsatisfying to our narcissism. Imagine trying to sell the world on a trillion dollar project where we shoot loads of bio-goo out into the cosmos in thousands of directions, knowing it’ll take eons to maybe have an effect that’ll then take billions of years to produce a result we will never appreciate.
I think if we do any sort of proliferation of life, it’ll be of us, by us, for us.
