If 2023 ends up giving us AGI, room-temperature superconductors, Starships and a cure for cancer, I think we will able to call it a good year...

I think humanity deserves it after so many consecutive weird years

I doubt the extinction of the human race via a runaway technological event will turn the planet into a wonderland paradise for the rest of the species that inhabit our planet.

The planet itself, being a rock, doesn't care, at all.

Norm Macdonald responding to Neil Degrasse Tyson on twitter.

Neil: The Universe is blind to our sorrows and indifferent to our pains. Have a nice day!

Norm: Neil, there is a logic flaw in your little aphorism that seems quite telling. Since you and I are part of the Universe, then we would also be indifferent and uncaring. Perhaps you forgot, Neil, that we are not superior to the Universe but merely a fraction of it. Nice day, indeed

Norm was a man of faith, so I could see how Neil's comment could rub him the wrong way.
