[ExI] taxonomy for fermi paradox fans:

[Kelly Anderson]

If your goal includes living a long perceived life, then slowing down would
be counterproductive. Besides, you can simulate a lot during that kind of
time period if you have a portable energy source.

So Giovanni, I see a reason to speed up, but slightly less reason to slow
down.
