   @davidho @LillyHerself I think it’s the “intelligent” bit that’s currently under debate. We’ll find out soon enough whether the description holds (not looking too good at the moment).

     This line from Don’t Look Up perfectly encapsulates what is special about Earth, and why we should fight for it.

     Evolution of intelligent life requires a planet that’s continuously habitable for 3 or 4 billion years.

     That such a planet exists is a miracle.
