Re: Trace of lifeforms 3.7 bln years old

Everyone remembers that scene in Matrix, and Mr Smith's inescapable logic. Rewriting the basic urge to subjugate, displace and consume all other life is non-trivial, especially in the time available. It only took us 100 years to get into the current mess!

I fully expect every other civilisation to have had to face the same test. I also wonder if they faced their own Trumps...
