HUMANS = ADVANCED MOLD

In an enlightening meeting with Randii (w/ two i's) at JPL, he likened our human species to "Advanced Mold". There is a 3% genetic difference between us and chimpanzees -- the difference between eating ants off of a stick from the ground and being able to send a satellite to observe Jupiter. He continued by asking us to imagine what an "alien" with another 3% genetic difference from humans could be capable of, according to this ratio. If these "aliens" were capable of knowing about us and reaching us in the first place, they would see that we are not as advanced as we'd like to think we are -- we are still a very young species in a period of "start-up transience". The fact that we are in wars over the "content of melanin in each other's skin" and the worship of different religious idols demonstrates the adolescence of our species. As physical beings we are bound to the abilities of our human nature, which at this point is still relatively very limited. Hopefully we can make it to maturity as a species before destroying ourselves and our resources.
