"Yeah man, everyone knows aliens did it. Everyone knows aliens blew up the Beanstalk.
Check it: we got the Meld, right? Where the fuck did that come from? Wasn't here when we had like, governments and shit. Nah man like. They saw the Beanstalk and realized we were a threat, right? The little monkeys deciding to poke at the stars with their fighting machines and shit. Maybe we'd climb up there and start colonizing the stars. I don't even know why we had that thing. I wasn't born yet. And it's not like we make shit or harvest shit. This planet fucking sucks. So like. Our reach outstripped our grasp or some shit. And the aliens saw us do that. And maybe they were like...alien gods. Punish the wicked trespassers.

You gotta worry about the arcologies and resources, y'know?
Nah man I'm not saying the aliens are gods. They could be as powerful as them, but like. No such things as alien gods. Just a bunch of spiteful assholes who dropped a robot bomb on us 'cuz they were scared of us. And like. Maybe we were scary? I dunno. I've seen old pictures of what this shit looked like. It wasn't great.
But fuck you, dude. Assholes."
Everyone here is either an asshole or a freak. At this point, I'm not going to count myself immune to this judgment. I've got...
You two are old enough for this talk. I love your father but he's not qualified to give it. Things aren't fair. It's not...
