If the sun is conscious, then that means the sun worshippers might have been on to something... πŸ€”

Well... Yeah, Panpsychism is empirically unfalsifiable.

bogus bullshit.

  1. Biology alone cannot elaborate on consciousness
  2. Biology doesn't concern itself with FUCKING STARS and last part of course, none of these biologists are mentioned.

I know this is a shitpost but please, please, please people just try to think critically for at least a second

I’d think you would want super-mirrors more than a pistol to fight the sun, but maybe the real joke was the astronaut got brain damage from the return trip

A classic and always worth a read: Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

That preface though:

AT a moment when Europe is in danger of a catastrophe worse than that of 1914 a book like this may be condemned as a distraction from the desperately urgent defence of civilization against modern barbarism.

Year by year, month by month, the plight of our fragmentary and precarious civilization becomes more serious. Fascism abroad grows more bold and ruthless in its foreign ventures, more tyrannical toward its own citizens, more barbarian in its contempt for the life of the mind. Even in our own country we have reason to fear a tendency toward militarization and the curtailment of civil liberty. Moreover, while the decades pass, no resolute step is taken to alleviate the injustice of our social order. Our outworn economic system dooms millions to frustration.
