This entire pie chart makes up the less than 5% of the actual Universe made up of particles that our crude senses and instruments can detect.
We are a bit of cosmic pollution; the Universe would be essentially unchanged if all normal matter in it disappeared.
And some people think Sky Daddy made the whole thing Just For Them

Trump and the Religious Right following Bibi and the Religious Likud backward away from secular democracy and into religious barbarism
Erosion of democratic structures like an independent judiciary, a functioning Congress, an independent media, an educated public…

At least there is the Fediverse. And STEM.

Don’t make it for a rando in 1,000 years
Make it for your great-grandkids in 100 years. Leave specific instructions in your will.
You’re still dead reaching out to someone across time. But it’s someone with a good chance of seeing the world not too differently from you, and who you might actually care about.
And who might actually treasure the hot wheels you spent thousands of hours playing with

- Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864): ~30 million deaths, mostly civilian
- American Civil War (1861–1865): about 620,000 soldiers died; disease accounted for a very large share. Deadliest war in U.S. history. Society has arguably still not recovered.
- Rwandan genocide / civil war context (1994): ~800,000 killed in roughly 100 days, with extreme neighbor-on-neighbor violence ("they’re eating the cats!")
- Syrian civil war (2011–present): 300k+ civilian deaths … so far
- Sudan civil war (2023–present): 13 million refugees, widespread hunger, health-system collapse
What made them catastrophic?
*Violence spread into civilian life. * This meant famine, disease, refugees, and economic ruin kill civilians disproportionately.
