All Other Tomorrows: A New Vision of Humanity's Horrific Fates

[@The_Horse-leafs_Cabbage]

The idea of a civilization built by eyeless humanoids is honestly kinda fascinating in its own way. We're so used to relying on our vision for just about every decision, so things like architecture, aesthetics, art, travel, and socializing would take a whole new amazing form. Music itself would probably be different, as its melodies, harmonies, and percussion would take advantage of the Clickers' intricately tactile hearing... Probably creating some almost psychedelic experiences that shape how they perceive the concert hall

[@Wonka2208]

They could probably do this as a form of torture

[@adamkern6243]

What is it

[@sowpmactavish]

Sentience in its basic definition is just the capacity to feel emotions and sensations. Cows are sentient. Dogs are sentient. One of the only animals I can think of that you can say arent sentient are fish, but idk what new research has to say about that. Sapience is what people usually mean when they say "sentience". Sapience as in "homo sapiens". The ability to think abstractly and the awareness of self. Wisdom.

[@Fairygoblet]

@@sowpmactavish thanks for clearing that up. Fish are a broad group oh, so I would guess that some are and some aren't. I read a study about form fish who were trained to come to the sound of a bell for their food, and that's how they controlled these large amounts of equally large fish. My betta fish quickly learned that I was The Giver of food and was excited whenever I walked by the tank. He also was greatly animated whenever I changed the toys that I kept around the outside of his tank 4 enrichment purposes. They certainly display budding intelligence, if nothing else.

Their muscular structure, hair/feather patterns, fat distribution, and coloration are kind of mysteries to us. I'm wondering if the same mysteries apply for the Post-Humans.

All Tomorrows is terrifying but the message is really wholesome, in that humanity will find a way and prevail.

[@roprope511]

As someone trained in evolutionary biology and developmental genomics, the original book is honestly really funny because I can kind of tell what classic example of evolutionary studies each species took inspiration from. Bone crushers and fliers are like the classic Darwin's finches, swimmers are obviously inspired by marine mammals like dolphins and orcas, temptors could be any number of eusocial insects, and I'm _so_ sad the mention of parasites was only constrained to the one planet because the temptors would have 100% had a full ecosystem of inquiline or temporary brood parasites. It would have been fucking rad. I'm not putting down Kösemen! Those are honestly really good places to look for inspiration. And I'll admit it's fun to recognize where the author's ideas may have come from. And crucially, the logic behind their transformations over time always makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint; the mantelopes lose their artificially highly developed brains because grazing herd animals truly do not need complex reasoning, it's why you'll never in a million years see a horse writing poetry. Seriously, almost always, the niche the post-humans' adaptations begin to fill makes perfect sense. The fanfiction is unfortunately not written by Kösemen. The "alternate universes" here are fun, but they don't make nearly as much sense from a developmental perspective. It's kind of a shame.

Clickers could make space travel possible by using this method An interface uses a lazer to see how far away an object is and then that interface sends data to a physical pin filled board (like the ones we had as kids that we’d put our hand in) to create a physical image that the clickers can see and then react to

[@NotSoSerious69420]

How would you see something far away? How would you know what direction you’d even want to go? How do you know that the projection would even be particularly accurate in space? How do you efficiently transfer information that would be gained by one sense into another? Seeing and hearing are relatively close in terms of how they can perceive the physical worlds forms but how close?

What blows my mind is that since we got trillions and trillions of star systems out in the universe. I am absolutely certain that there is many other variations of humans and I mean not humanoid but other planetary species that resemble close to humans here on top of the fact that who knows maybe there is other humans like these Somewhere Out There. The universe is massive and the chances of other humans being out there in different shape or form or possibly even closely resemble us is pretty high. Not that it would be more common than other types of other species but more like the chances of even having them out there is pretty high. Just imagine yourself outside looking at a star and wondering if there is life out there, but at that very moment in a far distant Galaxy someone could be looking at that same exact Star as you are looking at wondering the same thing.

The Grazer in the picture is depicted as the most beautiful female in the species. The picture that is shown for the bug facers is the most beautiful woman amongst their species. This gets me thinking. Is beauty a universal thing throughout all of the sub humans, or is it only for few, sentient species? What is beauty to the Sytiriacs? The pterosapians? The snake people? What about the most handsome males amongst their species? What is beauty to the subhumans? I feel like most of them wouldn't care about beauty, rather that be that not one being from each species is beautiful and they're all equivalent to each other (I.e. all of the temptors male and female look almost identical in each gender category), or a lack of caring like the Sytiriacs because an orgy is an orgy. I don't know, it's always been something that interests me about the story after discovering that the picture for the bug facers was depicted as the most beautiful woman.

WAIT if the processors told the asteramorphs the Qu's secrets that means the ruin haunters would've lost the war before they could do much damage because in this reality the asteramorphs are more social so it wouldn't take long for them to stop the ruin haunters with the knowledge that they now know

[@suziebelle3738]

Im pretty sure the Asteromorphs didnt get involved sooner because it simply didnt concern them until the Gravitals started trying to target them. The other human subspecies still doesnt pose as a great benefit to them in this timeline either, so i feel like theyd also be ambivalent to the gravitals genocides in this universe too

[@richmondlandersenfells2238]

I truly enjoy your narration. Love your content! Sigue Asi mi amigo👌

[@anthony4810]

I wonder how would the storyline change with the mantalope and spacers being in symbiosis since the spacers or aestromorphs are one of the most important characters since they defeated gravitals and qu in the main story

[@SPAMTONGG]

My favourite out of the bunch has to be the processors, a crazy sci-fi idea for them as a species!

[@dwaugh2215]

The world anvil site looks really interesting, might give it a shot as I have lots of ideas for my stories to make

[@5P_OFFICIAL]

6:00 for a grazer this would be equivalent of seeing photo of some... I don't even know, maybe model that everyone calls "hot" and etc

[@13th_Ghostly_Grimm]

Wait original if this is another timeline wouldn't this technically be the original in another perspective.

[@ThoughtPotato]

You know, you're exactly right

[@13th_Ghostly_Grimm]

@@ThoughtPotato honestly what if the original writer wrote this instead

[@johnvassey3851]

That was the most comically placed sponsor I've ever seen

[@mathieuleader8601]

the processors look like hyperintelligent coneheads

[@Ik34thyD1ngus]

The idea that, if an intelligent Grazer after the Asteromorphs took over, had access to a personal Mantelope computer, might have stored Pettabytes of data worth of the image of these models at 6:00 is personally, just comical, like imagine if the Mantelope felt a bit silly and infested the entire Posthuman internet with Grazer model photos 💀💀💀

[@johnfischner2189]

Grim and tragic, I am not sure that I would want to read any more text on what I have already seen. The idea that it takes an alien invasion to set this up makes the whole exercise a bit of a stretch. Dugal Dixon's Man After Man is enough for me.

[@Tugsuu0304]

It’s really cool that what you did with the wooly titans is actually what happened to real life wooly mammoths

Hey, thanks for the promo code. I used it and this software was exactly wtf I was looking for and couldn't find anywhere else. Cheers.

Great to hear! I'm a big fan of their software for sure

[@cedriclindsey7666]

The last bit about the grazers was uncalled for.

[@Thagomizer]

Reminds me a little of Dougal Dixon's Man After Man.

[@usernamedkjahstill5003]

I remember accidentally stumbling across the audiobook of this story. I was listening to HP Lovecraft or something like that and I drifted off to sleep while the audio autoplayed and when I woke up it was in the fascinating story

[@khrismanauval4383]

Why did I get this recommended ln 3 A. M.

[@Mr.SnekMeister]

Even though I don’t believe in speculative evolution or evolution in general. I do find it extremely interesting with all these weird forms these Tomorrows have basically how each one adapted to their new “looks”. And “what if” ideas are just cool to me regardless.

[@Raptor-hj9pu]

Fun fact: the daydreamer are the opposite for the mantelopes

[@drcubeface]

imagine young spacers going over to a mantelope to help with their homework "hey do you think you can help me with question 3.A ?" "no prob kid... yeah you forgot to carry the 4" "oh thanks"

has anyone written about humans teaming up with the snake people from another galaxy and ending the qu's whole career?

[@suziebelle3738]

No, all humans were wiped out or mutated into creatures. And this all takes place within the same galaxy, btw. Also, the Asteromorphs do eventually wipe out the Qu.

​@@suziebelle3738I think they're referring to the Ampicephali from the final parts of the book
