Milliongenerations:Guidelines for contributions

Content

Predicting the future is rather difficult. Let us try to avoid predictions or speculations.

The assumption may not allow valid conclusions for certain topics. We should try to find questions where it does and focus exclusively on those.

Additional assumptions may be helpful later to answer additional questions. Implicit assumptions are hard to avoid but should be declared when recognized. Keeping the assumptions to a minimum will increase relevance.

All the above may be difficult should not hinder progress. Let us try without fear, and improve where we can later.

Focus

Let us not (here) think about how (or if) we believe the assumption that civilization(s) continue for millions of generations can or should be reached. Those discussions could come later or elsewhere.
