It’s a nice goal, but no thank you. In my opinion, more of the world needs to be all but quarantined.

I expect there are many people who agree with this sentiment, unfortunately they might not agree on precisely which areas ought to be quarantined. And those who happen to live in the areas you want to quarantine might disagree most vigorously.

It sounds like we just need something like..national borders, eh ;)

Surprisingly, none with crabs on them. Carcinization will fix that eventually. And then Roko's Crabulisk will hunt down everyone who didn't vote for the crab flag.

Anteaters will be more likely, apparently. https://phys.org/news/2025-07-mammals-evolved-ant-eaters-din...

Huh. Interesting.

Well, there are quite a lot of ants in the world, so I guess it makes sense.

Eh? If you go at light speed you can literally go everywhere in the universe subjectively instantly due to time dilation.

> If you go at light speed I will certainly not. And even if I did — within any reachable radius there's nothing actually suitable, everything is 10+ ly away, but maybe I missed something.

If you did go at 99.999999% or whatever 10 light years away means basically no time for you. That's how time dilation works. Or, from your subjective experience, the faster you go, the shorter the distance. If you go REALLY fast, the distance shrinks to nothing. Those two perspectives are the same way to think about the same underlying time/distance transformation that happens.
