Huh chapter two gave me some strange, very vague but nostalgic memory of having read this before? It was a very weird feeling but quite funny, when considering the topic of memory in the first chapter.

Alex quoted Paladin's Strength by T. Kingfisher (The Saint of Steel, #2)
Clara smothered a laugh. It was hard to imagine gallant Istvhan, who had faced a wedge of men on horseback with only his sword, being afraid of the sea. Then again, you’ve seen him talk his way or fight his way out of everything. He is very confident in his ability to do those things. Perhaps it would be unsettling to have a foe that responds to neither, and doesn’t even know it’s your foe.

Alex quoted Not Till We Are Lost by Dennis E. Taylor (Bobiverse, #5)
Starting on day one, you have all the usual risks, like meteor strike, nearby supernova, ecological catastrophe, and so on. But once a species becomes intelligent, they start introducing more existential dangers, like climate change, all the forms of warfare, and self-destructive technologies like gray goo and AIs. And none of the older dangers go away, really. If the dangers just keep piling up as the species advances, eventually the odds catch up with you. It might be that extinction becomes statistically inevitable at some point.
