I was always proud of this (from a humanity pov), yet it feels like we should have explained how humans as assholes too. It’s like our thing.

When* someone finds the disc, comes to take a look, and finds a perfectly smooth planet laminated in a layer of microplastics - will they be able to appreciate our legacy or will 99% of our assholeness be lost to history??

*many decades in the future, no need to panic, space is vast

Rip, Jane Goodall, may your existence goodwash humanity’s reputation in space forever.
