Could be that rocks simply have such slow metabolisms that we are unaware of their consciousness. And, since all of them except carbon are not carbon-based, we don't care.

For some reason, your post reminds me of a NASA post on FB that I saw today, where in the comments people began seriously discussing whether a single tiny carbon-based life form with a span of maybe 80-85 years or so, living on one tiny planet, is insignificant on the scale of the universe. REALLY? You have to debate this? I scrolled and scrolled... and laughed and laughed... (click the picture to get comments)

“Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity—distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless.” — Douglas Adams,
“Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” — Douglas Adams,
“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.” — Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Or The Dirty Dozen

 

[Rocky]

How do court stenographers keep a straight face? These are from a book called "Disorder in the Court" and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters who had the torment of staying straight-faced while the exchanges were taking place.

Stopping for a Stella Rossa or three will definitely give you time to recharge.

I work with a solar plasma astrophysicist daily. We have no idea, really, we mere unscientific masses. None. He tries to dumb it down for us so we understand. That's where Dummy Jim comes in, lol...

A slide from a speech we've been working on that he is giving tomorrow...



Another slide says the Parker Solar Probe, for which he is a science lead and his group are big data analysts, is traveling at 349,736 mph. That's New York to Tokyo in under a minute.

The scale is breathtaking.
