    Yes. I mean life needs certain conditions to thrive. Carbon for example. The often outlandish examples of aliens in movies are just too clumsy to develop the tech. Maybe this shows what effect Battlestar Galactica had on me.I Kind of dream and hope one day we will be in contact with an interstellar race just like us. But they will have different stories. It's this perhaps fanciful idea about God and how He inseminates life across the Universe. I get embarrassed talking about God but it's just a faith I have. And faith is just like nudging the bet in the right direction.

    What if they are giants or come from a nonrelative ecosystem of some sort? Sounds like they could be a threat,

    Isaac Asimov said that any species capable of interstellar travel would have to have united under peace, otherwise they would have mutually destroyed themselves in the process. But this is just his opinion. I think our ideas of an evil all-powerful breed of aliens who will take over the Earth come largely from a projection of our collective unconscious. The irrationality and fear of all fascist and mind-controlled terror squads from time immemorial unto this day. I have more fear of this than any aliens,

    The only two scenarios I can imagine where aliens exist and would interact with humans is if they are simulators and have basically simulated our reality for us and choose to jump into the simulation for some reason or they have a better understanding of dark matter/energy and somehow it allow them to violate our known laws of physics.

    Based on a relatively similar understanding of the universe as us, I think the distance between habitable planets is simply too far to traverse with the necessary energy, sustenance and technology needed for aliens to make contact.

    The alien agenda is just a big psy-op, along with all the magic mumbo jumbo in the media, to bamboozle people into believing all anomalies are due to some out of control pervasive force that nobody can do anything about. Not necessarily even on a conscious level. It's like a fictive parallel reality that people can tune into. When nobody knows what to believe anymore they are less inclined to question on the real sticking points. And yes some of the films produced with this stuff in it are covertly funded by CIA and their equivalents. It's like here's your VR, here's your immersive game, now shut up and take it up the butt.

    Okay well something like that. Get the picture?

    Sure, but it seems people have always had a fascination with paranormal events and entities. Aliens are front and center of the paranormal collective unconscious now, but there's always been ghosts, vampires, etc. Is there really much of a qualitative difference between apparitions or monsters and aliens? aside from them supposedly coming from outer space..

    It's all on the same wavelength yes, but with the magic and sci-fi alien thing it's really magnified. Karl Marx said that with the demise of religion there would come an increase in magical thinking and interest in the occult.

    I think if aliens ever visited earth they would just be pushed to the side lines. coverup.
     
  14. We know so very, very little about the cosmos. At this point, anything could be out there. I think we get carried away with our technology, impressed with ourselves as we are. We can't even imagine anything beyond its scope. But maybe that's not because we're smart, but because we are severely lacking. Why would aliens pay attention to us? Maybe just for posterity's sake.

    We measure things for what they are. To the maggots and the cheese, the cheese is the universe. To the worms and a corpse, the corpse is the cosmos. How then can we be so cocky? Is it because of our microscopes and telescopes or the splitting of the atom? Certainly not. Science is an organised system of ignorance. There is more to this life, heavens and earth than the theory of relativity. What do they know about the beyond? Do they know what's behind the beyond? The truth is they won't ever know what's beyond the beyond.

    That's a laughable statement considering you are using a technology brought about by science.

    Science is an organized system of knowledge that has shown us just how ignorant we were and are.

    There's so many cultures around the world that believe in aliens, like the Japanese. Many translate them as gods, but that's not what these followers actually believe. A lot of them don't believe a God came down from the heavens. They believe aliens did.

    Oh I don't believe that. Our technology sky rocketed from WW2 onwards at a rate so inconceivable in regards to civilization. That's why the Americans went for German scientists in operation paperclip, as they were so sworn into doctrines of the occult, they were given technology advances the world hadn't seen for thousands of years and made it happen.

    The Japanese too, so advanced in science and technology and much of the ancient beliefs and even beliefs today say the spacemen help them. :p

    I've used that passage of words a couple of times here. It's the intro to a halloween song from ICP. :p

    Not sure where they got it from though unless you might be able to relate it to a movie?

    Halloween on Military Street.

    I always wander where they got it from.
