Well, I'm tired of living on earth. The planet has beauty, but most if it has sadly been ruined. When I think about this planet I can't help but to think about all of the negatives. I haven't be allover the world, I've only traveled to a few places but I feel like it's pointless. I'm tired of all the wars and pollution. I feel like this planet doesn't really have anything to offer and compared to other planets we are severely behind.
I wish this world could be like Futurama in how our planet would be in communication with other planets and space travel would be widely used. I want to visit other worlds and meet new beings. Learn about their cultures, languages and try their cuisines. I would like to find a new home and settle down among the stars.
I think it's silly for humans to say that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. Imagine how we could benefit if we became more open to the universe? IIN to feel this way?

What doesn't it have to offer? Earth has enough oxygen/carbon dioxide/ carbon/water etc etc to sustain life, and is the only known planet to contain 'intelligent life'. I'm sure there are other planets out there which have equally, if not more sophisticated life forms, but, for now, we are the peak of evolution.
Most other known planets are dry, barren, frozen wastelands, so how the Earth is behind them all... ?!
The most highly evolved creature on Earth is actually a Crustacean, a Lobster.
Think about that next time you might want to have one for dinner.
I find that hard to believe.
(Also, I don't like lobster anyway! :P)
I think it's most plausible to think that of all possible life in the universe, we're probably somewhere in the middle in terms of advancement (it's called the Mediocrity Principle). That said, if you find nothing impressive about the complex web of language and culture we've created (not to mention our exponential technological/scientific/medical trajectory) then sure, lobsters are way further than us.
As far as advanced (Ethical) Sentient life in the Universe goes, we are all at age 1 (on a scale of 1-100) with the exception of those who have not yet developed or have lost their ability to be Ethical, and myself who just turned 2.
By what standards do you rate evolutionary development?
If you agree that glacial periods did occur, then they are relevant. You contradicted yourself.
It is not my scale that rates creatures as Non-Sentient, Sentient, Sentient and Ethical, Sentient Ethical and Enlightened, etc. It is a scale that is used by the shadow creatures. It is inevitable that you will communicate with them. You are at liberty to argue with them whether it is sensible or nonsensical.
Yes, but I'm only visiting
Secondly, this planet is in communication with other planets. Where do you think "our" most brilliant innovations and inventions came from? It is unadvisable to visit many other worlds, as these environments are detrimental to our survival. For this reason, the idea of meeting these other creatures is usually impracticable. Communication with them is possible BUT we must stop making the pre-suppositions that they are anything like us. Our nearest neighbours (advanced, Sentient, Ethical) have a markedly different body plan than we do, but are similar in that they are curious and fight amongst themselves for resources (four major resource wars). They are slightly more advanced than we are, but deeply distrust the shadow creatures. Our next nearest neighbours are about twice as advanced as us, but I know little about them as they quite plainly, do not want anything to do with us. The shadow creatures, who are the most advanced in our local galactic cluster, have a perfect circulatory system, deriving energy directly from the Quark Realm and do not have mouths or communicate verbally.
This sounds a lot like how the people that colonized and developed the lands that this Earth DID have to offer felt.
It's human nature to be disatisfied with what one has and that human nature is what is destroying our planet as we speak. I think we need to learn how to appreciate what we have instead of feeling the need to go out and extend our dissatisfaction across whatever and wherever we have access to. If our recent and distant ancestors could have learned that, then we probably wouldn't be in such a predicament to begin with.
"Learn about their cultures, languages and try their cuisines. I would like to find a new home and settle down among the stars."
Obviously you have not done much travel on the Earth you live on. There are cultures here that are so foriegn and intellectually stimulating that they would literally fucking blow your mind.
If you can't learn to appreciate what you have here on Earth, what makes you think you would be able to fully appreciate what you could find elsewhere?
Just saying. Lack of appreciation for what is given to us is one of the hallmarks of how humans have hurt this beautiful planet Earth. Look around. We have all we need right here. It's up to you to find it. Good luck.
North Korea?
We are far to clever a thing to not be progressing forward like this.
The world really won't have us soon if we don't change things. In the lifetime of our species we are perhaps in the last year. Why don't we all do something, what have we got to lose?
Money.
It's not the place that has to change, it's the people.
