Earth also has an interesting curiosity. Our moon is extremely large, compared to earth. It also acts as a gyroscopic stabiliser. This keeps the earth from wobbling on its axis. Such a wobble would be devastating for a civilisation making the jump to technological. Even on earth, we are in a period of abnormal stability.
There seem to be so many coincidences that make our solar system unique that it's really upsetting lol It's like we are so perfect for stability because of things like Jupiter keeping the inner system "clean" of large impactors, our part of the galaxy being more "quiet" than typical as far as supernovae, stuff like that which makes it seem even less likely for life to exist anywhere else. :(
They want people like myself to get angry at this because "I made the decision to not go into debt because of the debt part and these people without care for the outcome just jumped into taking on debt and now want us responsible people to cover their tab."
It's supposed to play on some sense of "fairness" and "I played by the rules, why do you get to just make new rules for yourself to succeed while I'm stuck in a worse life because I stuck to the original rules?" It works with a lot of people. Even I'm kinda bitter about it, but that doesn't mean I don't want people to get educated without going into debt. I just wish I was born 10 years later than I was so I could benefit too!! :P
