content: are we a hormone of earth? This is nothing more than way-too-stoned-thinking, but i'm curious to hear the tech crowd here respond. What if Earth is the fetus and our solar system is the womb. What if Earth is destine to eventually leave the solar system and become an interstellar traveler. What if we are just a hormone released by Earth to invoke It's version of puberty and our role is to concentrate certain elements within It's being in new places that will cause dramatic physical changes. Afterall it will need a pretty serious metal shell and some sort of drive to navigate interstellar and possibly intergalactic space.   I'd love to hear thoughts. Sorry if it's stoner nonsense
