I think it's who we are genetically speaking as is how we attempt to deal with/contend/control it.
I to enjoyed the series. The Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy is worth checking out.

And if I may, "Impossible Peace" reflects much of who we have been and are still today.
Just hope Aliens... never take this TV series in!
Q
Is it possible for humans to grow gills? I ask this as I am wearing a snorkel with a 200 foot extension in bed with my phone wrapped in a waterproof case and frequently looking through the periscope at scenery above the water. I'm really beginning to miss dry land. Life under water doesn't really agree with me.
Have you ever done it?
I just finished watching that last night. Definitely thought provoking.

Chinese EVs continuing to make inroads around the world is reflected in the country's car export figures which have been soaring post-pandemic. The export of cars from China increased from around 1 million to 2 million between 2020 and 2021 to much media attention and has since continued to climb even more dramatically. In 2023, it reached almost 5 million, according to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
According to official numbers, China shipped more cars abroad than Germany in 2022, becoming the second-biggest exporter, and more than Japan in 2023. Customs data, however, showed China still behind Japan at 5.2 million and 6.0 million cars leaving the respective countries in 2023. Yet, it seems clear that it is just a matter of time before China will become the biggest exporter of the world's fourth most valuable export good.
While most news about Chinese cars in Europe and North America focus on the nation's electric vehicles, they are far from the biggest export as China continues to ship a large number of conventional cars to Asia, the Middle East and Africa. EV sales to Europe have been surging most, however, and the share of EVs in China's car exports has been up to 25 percent from 15 percent just two years ago. As EVs sales have been slowing in China, carmakers are making bigger pushes to export that are felt overseas.
Chinese cars have received a mixed reception in the West as excitement about price advantages in the still-very-expensive electric vehicle segment has met security and quality concerns. Surveys in different European countries show how negative perceptions of Chinese cars remain high. The U.S., where the cars have made the fewest inroads, at the end of last month even launched a probe into data security concerns around Chinese connected cars, with President Joe Biden saying in a statement that the move was an "unprecedented action to ensure that cars on U.S. roads from countries of concern like China do not undermine our national security". The European Commission opened an investigation in October. Also under scrutiny are the massive amounts of aid China has given its carmakers, allegedly breaking international trade law.
Cause that’s what Karen’s do ! lol

Being alone occasionally has its merits while being lonely rarely, if ever, does.

Within this century, full solar eclipses will pass over more major U.S. metros. In 2045, an eclipse will hit Miami and other major Florida cities as well as Northern California, Central Colorado, Oklahoma City and, like this year, Arkansas. In 2078 and 2079, dual eclipses will be visible in Atlanta and then New York City, Boston and Philadelphia. Chicago will have to wait until 2099 for an eclipse that also hits Minneapolis and Detroit and passes by very close to the nation’s capital, Washington D.C. Finally, beyond this century, in 2106, a solar eclipse is passing near Los Angeles, only closely missing Santa Barbara while also passing by Salt Lake City and, once more, Minneapolis.
