Cosmic life and extinctionism

What are the evidences of cosmic life?

If Earth can have life, the probability is already non-zero. That combined with the vastness of the universe almost guarantees existence of cosmic life. But that's not all: we have more evidence with current primitive technology itself that other planets have life.

Evidence number 1

Organic molecules like nucleobases (the ones that make up DNA), amino acids (that make up proteins) and even fatty acids have been found on asteroids. These are the very molecules that make up life. Organic molecules are commonly found everywhere.

The asteroids Ryugu and Bennu and the Murchison meteorite all have been extensively researched. All nucleobases, many protein-forming amino acids and carboxylic acids (fatty acids) have been found.

So if cosmic life is possible why hasn't it reached us? (Fermi paradox)

The better question is: if cosmic life exists, especially more advanced civilizations, why haven't they caused cosmic extinction? (Because a developed civilization high in empathy and logic can only reach the extinctionist conclusion; that's determinism.)

Two probabilities:

1. There is a limit to the most vast and thorough extinction possible and we don't fall under that limit.
2. We are the first intelligent ones or one of the first intelligent civilizations co-evolving at the same time (first-born hypothesis)

Several points and evidence support the first-born hypothesis:

1. As universe ages metallicity (atoms with higher atomic numbers increases) along with population 1 stars like the sun which promotes terrestrial planets with stability mechanism like plate tectonics which require radioactive minerals to function. Plate tectonics and planet stability are vital for development of complex life.
2. The third spirals of galaxies which formed way later in time are very good habitable zones since they have fewer star collisions unlike the 1st and 2nd. Our sun also is in Milky Way's third spiral.
3. About 92% of earth like planets are about to be born says NASA study.

Human civilization may be one of the first and rare events that has happened in the universe at this point in time. Which means it may be up to us to find a solution to universal suffering. It's on us to search for an effective solution to the suffering that's about to come.

Not just that: the above study also highlights the importance and moral obligation of researching for the most vast and thorough extinction. Because most suffering in the universe is about to come. There will be planets which develop sentient lives in the future and they may not even develop intelligent life forms to help themselves. So it's our moral obligation to search for the most vast and thorough extinction possible.

Is cosmic extinction possible?

We live in an era where science and technology have just begun and are growing exponentially. But, we don't have all the answers yet with regards to science. Extinctionism is a practical movement that refuses to give people false hope and promises of utopia. But we know what we should do. The goal is clear; we should research and determine what is the most vast and thorough extinction possible. Because that's all we can do and like it says it's the only possible effective solution.

So for example vacuum decay is a potential method for a beyond earth extinction. In this survey 18.8% of scientists say that an artificially induced vacuum decay may be possible in the future.

So what if vacuum decay is discovered to be possible? Should we cause it?

NO! If there is a more vast and thorough extinction method than vacuum decay even under theory or scientific speculation we must continue the search for it. Our goal still remains the most vast and thorough extinction.

So what if vacuum decay is the most vast and thorough extinction?

If scientific research confirms vacuum decay to be the most vast and thorough extinction then, yes, we try to cause it.

What if vacuum decay is proven impossible to be induced?

Still the answer remains: we go for the most vast and thorough extinction possible. The search for the most vast and thorough extinction remains our firm goal. It cannot be challenged by any scientific impossibility because we accept scientific impossibility. If nothing else we can engineer a peaceful extinction for living beings on earth.

But forget 18.8%: even if there is 0.00001% possibility of a more vast and thorough extinction we have a moral obligation to look for it. Because even in this 21st century we have lots of evidence pointing to suffering being widespread and that most suffering is about to come. This makes it our moral obligation to risk our own suffering in search of a more effective and a permanent solution to suffering.

Notes

Extinctionists will and should never talk about science fiction solutions they make at home. Non-science activists do not need to talk about science. As stated above, the goal of the most vast and thorough extinction remains unshakable, and that's enough for activism.

Some wrong claims and questions:

1. Extinction/cosmic extinction at a certain level is impossible - a scientifically arrogant claim unless scientifically researched.
2. Extinction/cosmic extinction at a certain level is possible - Also a scientifically arrogant claim unless scientifically researched.
3. When will it be possible? What if it's not? What if we never find it? - Plain and simple anxiety.
