"It appears that consciousness is a very rare & precious thing & we should take whatever steps we can to preserve the light of consciousness. Only now, after 4.5 billion years has that window been open. That’s a long time to wait and it might not stay open for long.” -

"It appears that consciousness is a very rare thing..." : sorry Elon, there is nothing to substanciate the words " it appears".
Consciousness and intelligent life may very well be a common thing across the vast universe, it is even the best assumption.
It is surely rare compared with the amount of suns that waste precious energy on a vast nothing out there. Imagine a space to live where the recourses one planet can provide is not the final boundary to growth. Where wether living space nor agriculture land is limited...
