Good Soldier Svejk posted:Aliens just seem like we're most psychological primed to believe as "scientifically feasible" over time travel. since matter is never created or destroyed - maybe conscious already existed prior to the big bang - thus we're just projected out to whatever like tumbleweeds. maybe one day far far far in the future after our sun has gone supernova some of our matter will drift off and we'll seed a new population

I came across this report yesterday, but it didn't really fit in the conversation that was happening but like, it's a handwritten letter from a woman in france of an encounter that happened to her grandfather and uncle in 1942 that disturbed them for life. It doesn't have to be aliens but why the gently caress would some woman in france track down and write to some obscure website in 2006 if it didn't leave a lasting impression over multiple generations in her family that predated widespread awareness of UFOs? Who's the joke supposed to be on? Anyway, quote:Occurred : 11/7/1942 20:00 (Entered as : 11/07/1942 20:00)

Vomik posted:when i hear governments coordinating together to release unknowns which they know implies aliens to people it makes me think they might be trying to pull some bullshit so the US and China are running a coordinated UFO psyop now? No wait, they've been running it together since the 1940s? No wait they have actually been doing it since the 1500s? that sounds kind of unlikely IMO And for what? What they could they possibly stand to gain that they couldn't get in some other way that doesn't involve wacky UFO stories hurting their credibility?

They're getting back at the generations of UFO believers calling them "liars" and "sociopaths" by holding the football one last time only to lay out the sickest, global dunk on all of them It's coordinate because everyone agrees "gently caress those nerds" the UN is gonna get in on it

Also for the record that Ricky Gervais reddit clip has Sam Harris making the claim that military officials have reached out to him with help shaping the message of disclosure to minimize panic which is a hell of a loving claim I have no idea who Sam Harris is but a quick wiki check makes him seem like an actual professional of some sort relative to Gervais

the lol is that all this time the elite have assumed we'd be as freaked out by the possibility of unfathomable beings who could destroy us on a whim and the rest of earth is probably going to be like "space brothers, save us from the madmen who hold the knife at our throats"

The Vinja Ninja posted:Remember most creationists do not believe in aliens and, not thinking aliens exist is a neo-Christian belief where they think GOD chose ONLY EARTH in the Bible to have souls and LIFE. Therefore no aliens can exist, flat earth, etc, and that permeated into “only simple cellular life exists in space and only earth was chosen to have complex life, tanq” types, who unbeknownst to them were influenced by the crazy Christians. The Vatican has protocols for sending missionaries to other planets if there are ever any found to have civilizations, but a later pope said that the current official position of the church is that grace as communicated by the New Testament is a uniquely human issue and would only apply to another planet if Jesus also visited there, in which case they would have their own mechanism for grace. I like the space missionary poo poo better. I think the Mormons have something like that too.

The really funny thing is that Tolkien literally applied this line of reasoning to elves and dwarves. He wrote extensively to his Bishop to make sure he wasn't accidentally violating some aspect of Catholic theology with LotR. e: Mormons are all about space, a lot of fairly influential (and sometimes even good) sci-fi and fantasy is written by Mormons.

Now what the gently caress is there to talk about? Why are they here? We don’t loving know. How do they work? We don’t loving know. How did they get here? We don’t loving know. How long have they been here? We don’t loving know. Where are they from? We don’t loving know. Wow what a riveting debate and discussion!

That would be lovely, because what if someone else’s planet gets more advanced and sends colonists? I thought it was more of a “everyone gets to play monotheistic god for their own captive human population” where it would have to be a different universe without anyone else.

Can you even image how that discussion would go down at CERN? Boss, good news, we can throw out general relativity! We're all getting Nobel prizes! Good god! Do we have five sigma confirmation of quantum gravity from the LHC? No, we got some blurry ir videos of a UFO! Good enough for me, wrap it up boys!

And you may find yourself living in an emergency bivouac And you may find yourself on another gaseous planet And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large saucer And you may find yourself in a beautiful pod, with a beautiful replicator unit And you may ask yourself, "Well... how did I get here?"

I never said alien life in the universe is woo. The idea that they are here flying around in our atmosphere is. If you had any understanding of what you are implying is possible by thinking they are here visiting is so beyond absurd it slides from interesting discussion into a childlike discussion of imaginary things. Aliens likely exist statistically in the universe. There is no proof of that however, and I cannot say I know they exist or make assumptions as if they did. The data we have shows that aliens are not anywhere we have looked actively. It's a small data set, and the margin of error is quite large, but it's the data we have.
