A website for Advanced Wanderers.

Thanks for your encouragement. A quick preview in order to return the kindness. I'll soon get around to explaining that, sooner or later, responsible Wanderers will need to give thought to leaving a dying Earth, transporting the "seeds" they've so painstakingly garnered, and sowing them in healthier soil on a different planet.

Those "seeds", of course, are whatever of value you've accumulated psychically. "You can't take it with you" certainly applies to the physical, but not to the psychic if your psychic body can withstand an interstellar transition. The physical bodies here obviously cannot: the bones immediately start dissolving when removed from a gravitational field: any astronaut who's spent more than a few weeks in orbit will suffer from life-long osteoporosis thereafter.

The options are limited. You might be able to "hitch a ride" with an ET race, but I know of none I'd trust that far at present. Briefly explaining the other options is the main purpose of the initial screed, which demands at least some setting of the scene to do.

A couple things:

What is your opinion of this post, which maintains that to leave Earth is a very, very bad move? I don't see a reason to leave Earth, ever (though I don't necessarily agree with all of what Hohongwitutiwa says) - what about all Ra said about how Earth is inevitably going to be a fourth density positive planet? Why would we need to leave Earth if, in at most the next half millennium, all living entities will be completely adapted to fourth density conditions?

And you don't trust any of the known ET races?? Well for one, I haven't heard of a single positive ET race recommending that we leave Earth to go live somewhere else. I don't know many, though. One thing Q'uo said, that I believe, is that once the majority of the population is awake, all of the damage to Earth's physical body can be reversed. Including reviving extinct species.

I don't think the solution is to run away from a dying Earth. Besides, only your physical body can die. So what's the problem?
