Tell me guys. Some of you here are extremely intelligent. Have you ever been a person with a 150-160 level IQ and been forced to be around a mean, ignorant person with a 70-90 IQ level? I'm not speaking about disavantaged people. I'm talking about the 99% of people in the world with average IQ's? How's that working out for you? How long can you stand to be in their space? This is just a taste of what it will be like to meet something like this. It would be far, far, far better to meet an ET that is MILLIONS to BILLIONS of years advanced, then to meet one maybe 1000 years ahead of us... If we meet our betters and they turn out to just be a LITTLE better, believe me, it's going to be fucking goddamn war like nobody's business. |

If we meet the Independence Day Level aliens, we are in deep shit. If we meet the War of the Worlds level aliens we are in deep shit. If we meet the Interstellar level aliens, we might have a chance (I know the Interstellar level ones are us, but just as an example) I think the farther they are from us, the more pity and altruism they would have, or no interaction at all. The others would be annoyed and just stomp on us like a bothersome fly. |

Quoting: Baconspiracist Astronomers have been analysing light signals from 2.5 million stars observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and have detected strange 'strobe-like' bursts coming from not one, but 234 stars. The pair went so far as to suggest that these light pulses "have exactly the shape of an Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence signal", and now Stephen Hawking’s alien-hunting mission is on the case to confirm or disprove these claims. Let’s be clear right off the bat - the claim by astronomers Ermanno Borra and Eric Trottier from Laval University in Canada that 234 extra-terrestrial civilisations might be beaming a coordinated light signal towards Earth based on anomalies in the data is extremely premature. [link to www.sciencealert.com] Premature? Yes.....but I seriously need a break from politics. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...' |

We could find all sorts of life out there, and still stay right at the very top of the heap from now until the end of all things. Look at the planet we're already on, littered with intelligent life, yet only one stands tall. We've mapped our gnomes, we're building AI and planning our space colonies, we have no limits. That's my bet anyway. 'Ender's Game' fleets. Drones/AI and Star Trek bridges. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

It takes a long long long time for those signals to travel through space. It's the equivalent of aliens looking at the Earth today with a huge telescope they would see Dinosaurs roaming around. |

A way of acknowledging to each other that there are other forms of intelligent life "out there." I wonder if the strobes can be decoded somehow, as if a signal or something.

Obviously, we must not allow parasites, e.g., trial lawyers, to impede progress. Ancient civilizations made rapid advances by purposely breeding more intelligent and capable humans. The Greeks offer a good example where both men and women sought the best genetics in a potential mate. In a modern society, we now have not only sperm banks and egg donors to create more capable humans, but the CRISPR gene editing technology offers rapid and targeted advancement. As Ray Kurzweil points out, the Singularity is Near (prophetic book) and we will merge human intelligence with our computers in the not so distant future. It is clear to me that Dr. Leary was also a prophet when he set out the goals for humanity: Life Extension, Intelligence Increase, Space Colonization. Lastly, I think that when we can build a starship/ark, we should send them off with instructions to change trajectories several times and never radiate a signal. Perhaps humans will survive in some distant corner of the galaxy. Ad astra |
