ALIEN TECH

[Dr.Pecker]

I just watched the thing on history about Einsteins thought experiments.

I missed it, feel free to recap.

 

[whitebb2727]

That Einstien and other people like him could enter a trance or meditate and access another dimension and talked to aliens.

Now I'm idiotic. I suggest you get over it. I'm not moving the thread to toke and talk nor will I move it to the religion section. If you don't like it don't post in it.
Definition of INSANITY
1
: a severely disordered state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as paranoid schizophrenia)
2
: unsoundness of mind or lack of the ability to understand that prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or that releases one from criminal or civil responsibility
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Albert Einstein

he he he.....right Freud. I am not the one believing in aliens. The thread is called Alien Tech, OP. I'd say that is pretty idiotic. Mutually exclusive terms if nothing else.

Another nattering nabob of negativity heard from. Again.

We heard you the first time, Doer. And the second, ad nauseam. Repetition doesn't make you right.

I stand on my earlier assessment of your approach.

It is not an insult, by the way. The ruthlessness of which you speak has its place- at the end of the speculative process, once reasonable avenues of investigation have been mapped out. You're jumping the gun.

Just because there's a lot of noise in the channel doesn't mean there isn't meaningful data- nevermind logical conclusions- to consider.

So consider them with us.

The never ending speculative process with no data, no experiments, no way to find out anything, is not science.

Mr Thread-o-coff, tear down this stall.

The vapid stupidity of belief, again. You stand on the marshy ground of self doubt and superstition.

I had this toy that would levitate magnets.

Nah. These are thought, logic experiments. To guess at alien motives is merely stabbing in the dark and I'm not here to say different. But sorting them out is both great fun- and perhaps productive in its own right.

 

[Doer]

Thought experiments? Those are productive in their own right. So of course, I chime in.

 

[Doer]

Hey, what gives? I didn't see anything but geese, lights and Adobe Cinema Editor.

EVERY living creature on our planet is "programmed", to a certain extent, to do two things: survive and reproduce. I don't imagine life anywhere else would be that much different.

You don't imagine? I do imagine, just that. I'd rather be alone in the universe. I'd much rather be, considering the viciousness of human beings based on monkeys. Read Niven's Footfall for a discussion of beings based on Elephants. Vicious and large. There is no way in my mind there can be civilization without viciousness. Look at the ants, for crying out loud. All aggregations of beings we see here on Earth, include the Dolphins are vicious survivalists. There are no peaceful species of Hunter beings.

Niven's, Kenitae are beings based on Large Cats. Very un-freindly. No one in his right mind will propose peaceful spacefaring. There is only one reason and is the only reason we do it.

Survival of the species.

The chances are there being even one other civilization out there, is exactly the same as the chances there is NOT EVEN ONE other civilization out there. I am very glad of that fact.

You are only pay attention the math answer you like. That is the statistics of imagination, not the math of science.
