Elon Musk: ‘This Tiny Candle of Consciousness that Is Humanity Is All that Exists in a Vast Darkness, and We Should Do Everything We Can to Ensure that the Candle Does Not Go Out’

Musk Yeah I mean ░░░░░░░░ m interested in that ░░░░░░░░ furthers civilization And I ░░░░░░░░ we want to expand ░░░░░░░░ scope and scale of ░░░░░░░░ so as to better ░░░░░░░░ the nature of the ░░░░░░░░ And even to ask ░░░░░░░░ questions to ask Like ░░░░░░░░ know one of the ░░░░░░░░ inspiring books I ve ░░░░░░░░ read was The Hitchhiker ░░░░░░░░ Guide to the Galaxy ░░░░░░░░ they re trying to ░░░░░░░░ the meaning of life ░░░░░░░░ the you know Hitchhiker ░░░░░░░░ Guide And the I ░░░░░░░░ the larger message of ░░░░░░░░ Hitchhiker s Guide to ░░░░░░░░ Galaxy is that you ░░░░░░░░ need to know what ░░░░░░░░ to ask about the ░░░░░░░░ that is the universe ░░░░░░░░ we we don t ░░░░░░░░ know what questions to ░░░░░░░░ So I m just ░░░░░░░░ really I m just ░░░░░░░░ as to the nature ░░░░░░░░ reality Where does where ░░░░░░░░ where does it all ░░░░░░░░ to Where does it ░░░░░░░░ does it come from ░░░░░░░░ are the aliens For ░░░░░░░░ Are there aliens Or ░░░░░░░░ it are we alone ░░░░░░░░ often ask me if ░░░░░░░░ m seeing any evidence ░░░░░░░░ of aliens and I ░░░░░░░░ have seen no evidence ░░░░░░░░ aliens yet We are ░░░░░░░░ aliens as far as ░░░░░░░░ can tell And I ░░░░░░░░ if anyone would know ░░░░░░░░ probably be me And ░░░░░░░░ ve not seen any ░░░░░░░░ of aliens So what ░░░░░░░░ that perhaps suggests is ░░░░░░░░ this tiny candle of ░░░░░░░░ that is humanity is ░░░░░░░░ that exists in a ░░░░░░░░ darkness and we should ░░░░░░░░ everything we can to ░░░░░░░░ that the candle does ░░░░░░░░ go out.”
