13 if human civilisation is still technologically advancing in a couple of hundred years we will realise sending naked selfies and maps to our solar system off into the galaxy in different directions was PROBABLY a mistake and considerable effort will need to be expended to go out and discretely collect those #DarkForest
#DarkForest poll
by the time the voyager probes have traveled far enough to encounter potential threats in our galaxy, and give our location away, human civilisation will be:
@ksaj @nuxi @amszmidt Yep. The #DarkForest hypothesis is not a cheerful thing indeed. I remember playing with the simulation a whole night and not getting any more good-humored. Still I have no idea if it is really a realistic model. I so wish it isn't, but looking at our known space in the universe does not contribute to any optimism whatsoever
So it's probably better to look at the flocking models instead
“There is so much unmobilized love out there. It’s really moving to see how much.”
-- [Mike Davis 1946-2022](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Davis_(scholar))
from "against the #DarkForest" by Erin Kissane (https://www.wrecka.ge/against-the-dark-forest/)
Kissane's masterful essay inspired me to hope again. It is up to us to shape Mastodon, or something like it, into something that unleashes the #love that so inspired Mike Davis's life of activism and humanity.

It is getting scary out there. Keep your head down.

With 3 Body Problem getting a lot of attention with the two TV series...
#DarkForest problem is something I believe could happen here on Earth if there is further abandonment of compassion for strangers education. The threat of #DarkForest is the technology to attack remotely and wipe out in #OutGroupHate - and humanity may develop new physics weapons to kill remotely very easily. It is a #FaithSystem value - #ArmsRace of violence / killing.

Here it is! Our paper about a new way to detect life in the universe. I'll make a fediprint thread later!

Most of you are humans, right?
@ct_bergstrom I’ve been sharing this #CozyWeb post from #VenkateshRao a bunch today, which tells a similar story: https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/p/the-extended-internet-universe
I especially like the #DarkForest analogy they reference: https://onezero.medium.com/the-dark-forest-theory-of-the-internet-7dc3e68a7cb1
It's interesting to follow the discussions about #threads as a non-tech-person. Questions of whether servers should, or should not, federate with them, people hiding out on smaller servers to avoid attention...why am I reminded of this? #darkforest
Following up, I’ve settled on a basic premises, to create acceptable spell casting, I think you kinda have to allow for ancient alien artefacts that make it possible. Ancient aliens are a staple in most hard SF(not just the Hysterical channel), especially in ones that explore the #darkforest hypothesis. Not that I’m limiting myself to existing tropes, but I like the way this feels. I like it when ideas “click” into place, a bit like Lego, and this does it for me.
@cognacore let’s see what other readers of #TimothyMorton and those who’ve heard of #DarkEcology or this #DarkForest theory have to say. These hashtags sent out like beacons into the depths of the Fediverse.
Narendra Modi deciding to test the Dark Forest theory head on by broadcasting "Space will belong to all humanity!" into space today. Thanks pal. #darkforest
