"I still don't get how Eliezer and (according to Eliezer) Robin think that life (or Life, whatever, a capital letter won't do the trick) is going to shape the stars and (if I understand correctly) the whole Universe."

I don't get, how you can't get it. Really. It's a matter of a degree, how far away we make some changes. I trust, you wouldn't even if you could. But I would turn Jupiter and everything beyond to some useware, only if I could.

So "I" would remain, you would not. How difficult is to understand this?
