I watched Anton Petrov's last upload about galactic wandering supermassive black holes. In it he mentioned that it is estimated there are around 12 wandering SmBHs in the Milky Way. It reminded me of a thought I've pondered a few times about how the future will play out in the long term, like what will be the dead sea scrolls and prehistoric cave scribbles in 2k and 10k+ years, and why.

I believe future interstellar humans will value all data about the positions of the stars more than any other information we possess in the present. Long after all of our languages are dead and irrelevant, and our culture is to cringe to care about our backwardness, no one will place importance on the name, but the intrinsic knowledge will carry the name beyond any others of our epic.

Anyways, explaining it makes it seem a little less shower thought per say, but in my mind there is little distinction between ruminate abstraction and momentary epiphany. The momentary thought of 12 SmBHs roaming in relative secret, are the type of creeping monsters that likely haunt the future.
