We were created in a planet so beautiful, we cannot even imagine one more beautiful. Nature is awe-inspiring, all other animals have grace, love, and complete adaptation. They could not live anywhere else any more than we could. Yet the crazy myth persists, and even Stephen Hawking the renowned physicist, bought into the idea that migration into space is our only hope for future survival. How dumb: abandon a perfectly viable planet for a very hostile unknown instead of using the brains nature gave us to solve the problems we have created, all on our own. Which brings into question the concept of intelligence: obviously, it's often confused with something quite different: a knack for a discipline , either in science or art.
