Wheeee posted:much as i loved blindsight--in spite of the 'vampire' poo poo--i remain unconvinced by watts' thesis that consciousness is an evolutionary dead end or a distinct disadvantage yeah it's just a buncha BS imo. the idea that non-conscious life capable of space travel could exist isn't that far out there because nature is capable of equipping itself with much more resilient systems than we are built of, but that seems much more like the position of distinct disadvantage to me. if it was like that you wouldn't see convergent evolution toward agency in so many different types of life here on earth

im in the camp that couldnt get over the dumbass vampire poo poo. so god damned stupid oooh right angles ohh nooo booo. deep space is utterly inhospitable to anything resembling life as we know it anyway and iirc there wasnt really an explanation in blindsight of why the nonsentient life overcame that? maybe there was and i was too annoyed to notice

Slavvy posted:The idea that the US government can cover up something so fantastic for decades on end is, by far, the least plausible theory put forward itt. They probably haven't managed to keep everything covered up, but it's such an effectively stigmatized topic historically that people either didn't bother saying anything, got lost in the noise, or were laughed out. That plus proper compartmentalization is probably sufficient to keep even this kinda thing under wraps. They also probably do not have anything resembling a complete picture of what's actually occurring. Which brings us back once again to why now? Won't know till we know

Wheeee posted:after going hard on this topic for a couple months i've more or less decided that it's not aliens who tootled on over from another planet, it's either prosaic ie psyop and human technology that's not actually doing what it appears to be doing, or that this is something far weirder and outside our modern understanding of reality than some bros from the martian canyons I've always thought that a lot of the difficulty in fitting an explanation to recorded behavior comes from a combination of the low number of "high quality" reports and the assumption that there must be a single, unified explanation. Maybe there's a bunch of von Nueman probes running around, all with different creators and different tech levels. One set uses nuclear engines and hasn't even dipped inside the atmosphere, another set uses exotic gravity bullshit and zoom around like physics isn't real, etc. Maybe some of the craft are intelligently controlled; the Zorblaxians invented the warp drive a millennia ago and have spent the intervening time loving around the galaxy and laughing at everyone too stupid to figure it out. The only real way to have any idea of what's going on is to try and build a clean, trusted data set like Avi Loeb is doing, so let's hope that works.

cool av posted:All while, so far, everything we see when we search the skies indicates that we're terrifyingly alone. I think it's extremely premature to make any pronouncements like this. The amount of sky we have actively searched for intelligence is actually quite limited in depth, breadth, and bandwidth. The types of communication / technosignature searched for is usually limited to extremely high-energy broadcasts beamed directly at us, because our instruments are just not that sensitive yet to detect much of anything else.

if the lights in the sky have been there the the entire blink of an eye humanity has been down here, we can be certain that our age has seen the fewest of them. the sky was tv for most of us,, and it was a whole different show with zero light pollution.

there’s some conversation here and in the Epstein thread about things like psychic stuff and magic and such. does the topic of synchronicity, which I think really ties a lot of those feelings and experiences together, deserve its own thread? Carl Jung coined the term after a patient described dreaming of a scarab beetle, and then one landed on the window of his office. I personally have had an insane amount of experiences that aren’t insane in and of themselves, but are so mundane and yet almost impossible to occur that they become insane, and have contemplated starting a thread about it all since different things sometimes come up in these threads about this stuff. I’d also really like to read other peoples’ stories.

^e: that's called a coincidence When I think about how little I knew about Area 51, Lockheed's Skunk Works, Tacit Blue and Have Blue back in the mid 90's it becomes easier to accept that it's probably not aliens. Shifty Nipples has issued a correction as of 04:35 on Sep 13, 2021 |

Another interesting aspect of all this is how once the US acknowledged UAPs a bunch of other governments were like "yea, we've been seeing this poo poo too"

Slavvy posted:The idea that the US government can cover up something so fantastic for decades on end is, by far, the least plausible theory put forward itt. For typical conspiracy stuff this is usually true, but there have been tons of videos, photographs, and whistleblowers over the decades. They've all been ignored because of the way this subject is viewed by the general public and media. The fact that most of them were crazy people just gives that much more reason to people not to listen to any of them. The Nimitz encounter story was out there almost since it happened and it took a NYT article 15 years later before anybody took it at all seriously, and even then it is dismissed by more people than believe it. Shifty Nipples posted:When I think about how little I knew about Area 51, Lockheed's Skunk Works, Tacit Blue and Have Blue back in the mid 90's it becomes easier to accept that it's probably not aliens. Yes and no. I absolutely believe that a big part of this is regular human stuff like adversarial drones and black project crap, in fact it's probably the majority. The other stuff like that tic tac (assuming it actually did exhibit the capabilities claimed) is in no way shape or form human tech. That's not just some "we'll have that in 20 years" tech it's "we may have that in 100 years if we are lucky" tech and it took place almost 20 years ago.

To add on, UAPs with similar characteristics to the tic tac(s) have been recorded at least as early as the 1940s and potentially since the late 1800s

reddit found a slightly higher resolution vid of that cockpit video, in the original on youtube there was a weird clipping line when the bird passed under the wing and i wasn't sure if it was a mask or a compression artifact, but i don't see it in this one so i'm going with compression artifact?! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6hrfhx WEH posted:A thought I've had recently is that people should spend more time examining "coincidences" in day to day life, myself included.

Bilirubin posted:it would be hard to control for misses though, like the number of times I have been expecting this damned contractor to email me his quotes "in a few days" two weeks ago That would be anti-syncronicity since you're not in line with your contractor. Start thinking in the ways they'd think and they'll move closer to your thinking. Id suggest starting with "gently caress this is not enough money for this poo poo" and "rich rear end in a top hat thinks he's better than me?! What the fick has he ever done for anyone.." You'll have your quote within a day.

Almost like everyone itt being starved for content manifests as a seemingly original thought in some dumbledore's brain and draws them here subconsciously  The climate threads work the same way afaict.
