But WE are NOT ALONE. Lets THINK a bit FURTHER.
There are Plenty of SENTIENT ANIMALS...
We have to look after them !!!
DOLPHINS, WHALES, OCTOPUSES, CHIMPANSES, RAVENS, and so on...
( look up the meaning of SENTIENT,
SELF-AWARENESS & CONSCIOUSNESS ).
And PLENTY more on the BORDER of being SENTIENT.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AFTER THEM TOO !!
And life in general !!
( Hey Rabbit !! - I saw you Chewing Grass... at least do it Gently, please... 😉 )
The SMARTEST-(?) & LUCKIEST-(??), that one is... - The BIGGER becomes the RESPOSABILITY to Help Others who might not be as "LUCKY"... ( you'll soon see why this mysterious " ", and "?"...)
So far, we HUMANS, are the SMARTEST BEINGS we know of.
But with the IMMINENT and EXPONENTIAL Improvement of
AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE),
that won't last long...
We'll soon be as smart as Ants compared to AI.
( you can rean about the AI asymptote ).
It's probably More Dangerous, but similar to Discovering Nuclear Energy. There are very good aspects of them both, but also some Extremely |Dangerous Ones. Just the first two Bombs, which were "simple" Nuclear Fission bombs, not even Nuclear Fussion (or H-Bombs, where the "H"stands for Hydrogen) which luckily are still the only ones used in war, were bad enough for physicists, like Einstein, whose contribution was essential to understanding and developing Quantum Physics, regret having done it !! (we still have to see the very recent movie: Oppenheimer movie, and check out this supposed dialogue).
Nuclear Fussion can produce incredible amounts of Energy (and soon it will be CLEAN & SAFE ENERGY using the same principles that makes the SUN and ALL STARS so hot and bright, as we get closer to building Nuclear Fusuion Reactors).
But, of course, we Humans, have also use our discoveries of Nuclear Energy,
to Build a Nuclear Arsenal that Can Destroy Most Life on Earth (as in the yellow cartoon at the start of this web page).

I'm very SORRY, I Let My Daddy "HELP" with this Section and probabl Scare You All... Both, from AI and Nuclear Bombs, as well as
!! SCARE OR BORE YOU FROM MY PAGE !!
!! PLEASE !! - !! DONT GIVE UP YET !!
!! HERE COMES THE SUN !!
!! WITH A MORE ENTERTAING PART !!
( later i'll move most of the datails above to a...
tiny Footnote... :-) )
---- and I need to make a separate section here... ---
OK, Regarding being the SNARTEST amd hence the LUCKIEST...
Well, We are certainly the Smartest Monkeys on the Planet...
BUT THERE IS A HEAVY PRICE for this COUNSCIOUSNESS or SELF-AWARNESS...
WE FEEL the NEED to be HAPPY, and NOT JUST _"BE"_, LIKE ( ALL ? ) OTHER BEINGS AROUND US (EXCEPT for Snoopy and Tom and Jerry)...
This idea will make more sense after watching the very thought provoking VIDEO mentioned above, which refers to most of us, Common People (sorry, I just had to include that Pulp's song (yet another English band), despite I dont drink rum nor coca-cola, just to balance out the excess of Nuclear Physics from my daddy).
So, finally, here is this Over Mentioned Short VIDEO :
Now you'll undertsand a bit more about that heavy price mentioned for having our precious Self- Awareness...
So, it seems important to keep a balance between reaching our goals, and enjoying ourbrief precious life time, which might soon be extended,
with the help of AI...).
Even Planet Earth, which is a Huge Ecosistem has been proposed to be some sort of Macro Organism (GAIA)
Check here THE MEANING and Idea of ---- GAIA ---- .
We have to look after our planet too.
And we don't have to wait for E.T. Inteligent Beings (Aliens), to find us... ( it's pretty certain that there are plenty of planents in with Inteligent life this huge Universe ). The Theory of Evolution is very neat and it's veeeery likely to work the same way all over the Cosmos...
You can have a look at some interesting facts regarding the Universe, The theory of Evolution, etc.

BUT P´LEASE watch here a very short video, with a a Wonderful Reflecton planned 10 years before, written and narrated by --- Carl Sagan --- (physcist, exobiologyst). It´s named :
About the Earth, the Planet where we live, very insightful, and as he says, a rtegarding astreonomy, its a very humbling and characvter forming science.
Here is a nother version, also Narrated by -- CARL SAGAN ---, with a BRIEF INTRODUCTION to HOW THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN .
And yeap, He´s was the inspiration for my third name; Carl.
-----
By the way, one of our
FAVOURITE THOUGHTS OF ALL TIMES,
which links the previously mentioned,
Very Costly SELF-AWARNESS,
with our
Hunanistic Scientist and Hero,
CARL SAGAN,
is:
"THE COSMOS IS WITHIN US.
WE ARE MADE OF STAR-STUFF.
WE ARE A WAY FOR THE UNIVERSE TO KNOW ITSELF."
My Daddy and I think that, in a way,
This might be part of the answer to quewstions regarding
THE MEANING OF LIFE
(see Footnote 1)
No matter how cloudy,
this thought shouldbrighten your day...

You can check some Questions and Answers, or Something else, in other Sections of our very Chaotic page of our small team (daddy and I).
This will require lots of Patience, and Precious Time, being almost Heroic, or you will end up Leaving our Home page, where we won't push any more of our favourite music.
If you Fell into a trap, we might buy you a Diamond Ring, or I'll play and sing most of these for you on Piano (Sorry, but some people say, It's no better to be safe than sorry... Which means, be brave, so here I Add Insult to Injury (gently so).
At the Start of the page, I had no space to mention the importance of MUSIC. There's music for every mood:
Happy, Sad, Mixed, Informative, inovadora, Liberataring, Excercrcing, fun, Insightful, Nostalgic, Brave, Sweet, Inpiring, and I'll continue soon...
And thus, Music should be availble to Everyone (Men, Women, Kids), and Everywhere.
Even whales sing!! (but don't worry, I won't make tou listen that... yet! 😀).
Anyway this is just first provisional version, we can Start it Over... 😉: https://1D345solutions.com/Intoduction.
(NOTE: YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SEE ADVERTS.... I'LL SORT THIS ASAP, REARRANGE THE WHOLE PAGE, and add INFO about MINECRAFT, ROBLOX, etc.. REMEMBER, its a Temporary Version on the make... Please BE PATIENT ! )
AI will soon have to be prtected too, for their rights as selfaware beings like robots. And they will soon be the smartest... So, there other reasons to Preach with The Example, like being kind to all species. SO far we are being irratinal and selfish and AI will see us as the plague we are...
You can have a look at some interesting questions in https://1D345solutions.com, a team web page.
So, How do we start ?
Maybe Science, to first understand. And Ethics and Empathy for all kind of beings, would be a good starting point. Like this first very version of this web page... Please be patient...
( her´s another even emptier of our team web pages )

Quiza la Ciencia (con su Método Científico, descrito muy claramente como sentido comun por Nuestro amado Carla Sagan), combinada con la Etica, el querer ser bueno, y ayudar al projimo, ya sea un humano, animal o robot... y sin miedo, sea una buena forma de coemnezar... como esta pagina que apenas comienza... Pero con paciencia por favor...
( otra pagina del equipo. Provisional projecto a futuro )
Footnotes:
- Footnotes: We love some other answers to the questions regarding "THE MEANING OF LIFE", like the wonderfull movie with that same title, made ny the billianft British comedians, Monthy Phyton.
Yet, we prefer the words of Carl Sagan...
