  • We’re currently in it. Failing to create a clean, renewable, and scalable energy source powerful enough to run a society that is ever increasing in both population and technology without destroying their only inhabited planet has got to be the most common great filter.

    Asteroids strikes, super volcanoes, solar CMEs, and other planetary or cosmetic phenomena that exactly line up in both severity and timing are too rare IMO.

    Every society that attempts to progress from Type 1 to Type 2 has to deal with energy production. Most will fail and they will either regress/stagnate or destroy themselves. Very few will successfully solve the energy problem before it is too late.











  • Whenever I am cooking dinner or doing chores during the week after work I have a sitcom on in the background. New Girl, Friends, The Office, TBBT, etc. I’ve seen them dozens of times, but there is something about having them on the TV in the evening that reminds me of childhood. Simpler times maybe, I dunno. But I find it extremely relaxing.

    Then every other year or so I’ll go through Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, because they are probably my favorite shows.
