  i thought of sending something to this, then it occurred to me, 50,000
years from now, will they even understand us?
Just think of how far humanity has come in 1,000 years, and then realize
the growth is exponential. (on second thought, this is preaching to the

planet as the main base of humanities operations in 50,000 years is rather
depressing, we'd better have a Dyson shell built, or have a pure
