Super Metroid Speedrunning Wiki Welcome to the one-stop place to learn all about Super Metroid speedrunning. Whether you're just starting out, or have been playing Super Metroid since 1994, there's always something new to learn. All race functions will take place on SpeedRunsLive (SRL) or racetime.gg. If you would like to participate on SRL, join #supermetroid on the SpeedRunsLive IRC so you can be present when future functions are scheduled to occur. If you have an idea for a future function (such as a puzzle), you can discuss it with the community there, as well as on our Discord server. Hope to see you off Ceres! |

Announcements & Upcoming Events It'd be great and I'd really appreciate it if someone could make an account on the effective altruism forum ( https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/ ), or (also) the Lesswrong forum ( https://www.lesswrong.com/ ), to then just make a quick new topic thread there that covers the following argumentation: Title: Ethics on Cosmic Scale, Outer Space Treaty, Directed Panspermia, Forwards-Contamination, Technology Assessment, Planetary Protection, and Fermi's Paradox Premises: 1: Evolution of life on exoplanets or any of the dozens of solar system ice moons (even if just indirectly per natural, so-called ballistic litho-panspermia off of other celestial bodies), if it happened, would (also) entail an enormous amount of animal suffering. 2. Evolution - depending on countless influential factors for the path it takes - can unfold in millions of very different ways. 3. The window between best and worst versions in terms of well-being or suffering of potential far-future wild animals to come from it surely is astronomically gigantic. 4. Any near-future microbial contamination of planets at most will lead to an abysmal version (and likely negative, for in the order of magnitude of octillions - namely quintillions at any time for billions of years - of animals, since according to evolutionary biologists, wild animals - see sources on the wild animal suffering Wikipedia page - mainly suffer on average). Conclusion: Even by current risk assessment response measures or standards applied in other cases, humanity must at the very least have discipline and hold itself back for many years from risking interplanetary and interstellar forward contamination, and so space ports must be locked down (if not stricter safety measures were to be warranted this way). Independent research paper references: Prof. Gary David O'Brien's scientific paper ( <https://philpapers.org/rec/OBRDPW-3> ) from 2021, titled "Directed Panspermia, Wild Animal Suffering, and the Ethics of World-Creation" and Oskari Sivula's scientific paper ( <https://philpapers.org/rec/SIVTCS> ) from 2022, titled "The Cosmic Significance of Directed Panspermia: Should Humanity Spread Life to Other Solar Systems?". The internationally binding Outer Space Treaty's Article IX strictly prohibits all forms of harmful forward contamination.
