Earth Is Our Final Destination

I love to take hypothetical and speculative romps through the imagination but I consider myself to be a realist. I find the media and the public’s enthusiasm for the rather frequent discovery of “habitable” worlds to be silly groupthink excitement.

However, in many other countries, Christmas tales take quite a sinister turn.
