Happy Birthday Utah, Pale Blue Dot, Hope for the future, instead of Kraussian nihilism
Utah's birthday is not just for Mormons.
Thoughts on the pale blue dot and having hope for the future over Kraussian defeatist style de facto nihilism. Humans are a different type of animal. Space travel. Calculus. Knowing why we're really here, for the first time. Yes, a special type of star stuff indeed. A part of the universe who can understand itself for the first time.
