:Mathematical ideas aren't "discovered." just about any sequence you can think of has already been implemented by a plant or animal or some
:If you met an alien species, they'd be familiar with all our mathematics, the only difference being the symbols.
:Other natural process.
:So, it's better to be a poet if you want to be immortal
:How do we know there aren't universal principles
:There too? Rhythm, symmetry, order
:Not really.
:It's not like stories have no basis in physics. If beings can turn back time or reverse entropy, who cares if romeo killed himself or willy loman wasted his life?
:It seems likely that aliens will understand what it means to hope for something and then not get it. If so, why wouldn't they have tragedy? Why wouldn't they have comedy?
:Okay, so if you want to make some thing immortal, it needs to be maximally random.
:That won't work either/if there's such a thing as maximal randomness, the aliens will know about it too because randomness is useful!
:Then the only hope of making
:Do that and you will echo through eternity.
:Something immortal and special
:Is to make crap. Make something nobody would make because there's no beautiful reason for it to exist!
:I've never been more proud of my species.
:We are as gods!
