Alternative dystopian scenario: we eventually find evidence of (sometimes extinct) life on all planets and moons that had encountered specific chemical conditions for a long enough period of time. We realize en masse (more than we realize now) that life isn&#x27;t a unique snowflake, but simply a geological process, not that far removed from rocks and volcanoes. The realization causes a broad spiritual&#x2F;existential crisis and irreversibly changes human culture, mostly for the worse.
