Humods Meme Set.

Meme 1: Our Cosmos generates within itself an endless abundance of unique lifeforms and places those lifeforms in a survival of the fittest threat matrix that rewards and promotes the evolution of increasing levels of complexity, intelligence and resilience.

Meme 2: By intermittently generating mega-challenges for the lifeforms spawned within it, our Cosmos functions as an intelligence generation engine.

Rogue asteroids, comets and black holes, ice age causing super volcanoes, species-ending plagues, atmosphere stripping cosmic dust clouds, planet scorching mega solar flares and gamma ray burst -- all serve to insure the extinction of any species that fails to quickly enough develop sufficient intelligence to anticipate and deal with all such threats.

Meme 3: In our Cosmos extropy is life. Open, inquisitive minds using open science to determine as rapidly as we can the nature of every aspect of our Cosmos is the key to maximizing the longevity of our kind.

Those that constantly rethink, refine and adjust techniques to better meet the opportunities and challenges ahead are rewarded with knowledge that cures diseases, lengthens lifespans, creates better tools that make toils less burdensome and lives ever more rewarding.
