Arcology Design (Narration Only)

Our Sun constantly froths with sunspots and solar flares, many larger than our planet, and yet these are dwarfed by Coronal Mass Ejections, such as the Carrington Event of 1859, which would have wiped out our communication and electric grid had it occurred today. For all of that, our Sun is far less volatile than most stars, and this may be a factor in why Earth has a technological civilization.

Machine Overlords & Post-Discontent Societies

Water is one of the most common substances in the Universe, and Earth has far more seas than land and life arose in the ocean first. Planets covered entirely in water may be common and abundant with life, including intelligence extraterrestrial life.
