One of the worst things we do as a culture is setting arbitrary milestones and then shaming ourselves or others for missing them.

Garden, make art, invent new things, whatever.


A Dyson sphere is a sphere surrounding a star to capture all the solar energy of that star. People live on the inside of the sphere.
