I've always liked this idea. Like, everything just repeats as infinitum whether you look smaller and smaller or bigger and bigger. The universe is just one of those fractal image kaleidoscopes.
I mean when I'm on Delta-8 that's how I see the world, sometimes on shrooms too. Everything is just zooming out and zooming in, and it's all just.... the same thing, but not the same time... and all of it is turning to face God, but they only see the others turning to face God, infinitely everything looking for the source, but we can only see the other universes looking for God....
It'a... circular, I think it's going somewhere but it doesn't.
Because really there is only energy converting and shifting that's it. Energy and tidal forces caused by presence of that energy bro.
And we're just the universe looking back at itself screaming a choir of mortal panic
I mean as long as I survive my death that's fine
"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather."

I've been into gut health lately and I was thinking what if we are the microorganisms inside a bigger beings gut? This planet is just one part of it and in order for the universe to have a healthy gut we would have to terra form the planets and make healthy worlds. (I don't think we will actually do that. We are more likely to mine every other planet)
The universe's gut now looks like the typical American diet gut with ultra processed foods and not enough fiber/fermented foods.

I want to question the assumption that an increase of Earth-like planets would be better than the current state of the universe.
The idea that the current state of the universe is unhealthy, and needs us to save it by increasing homogeneity by altering other planets to look more like ours..
I'm just gonna say it.
It's eerily reminiscent of the colonizers' mindset of "saving the world by making it more like us"
It comes from the assumption that others' current state of being is inferior to ours, and need to be fixed, by us assimilating then into our, superior, state of being. It comes from an assumption that there exists inferior and superior states at all, and that superior states of being should be strived towards. Rather than assuming that diversity is better than homogeneity, and different states of being are neither inferior or superior, they simply are.
I question the idea that us changing the universe to resemble us, would be superior to the current state of the universe
I see your point. I would be guilty of that mindset that a planet full of life (not necessarily human life) is superior to a dead rock.
