I suppose for me it's hard to understand thinking there's an acceptable amount of threatening you can be. Humans narrowly wiped out poo poo like prairie dogs just for being annoying, not even outright hostile. Maybe it's fine in the perspective of the higher beings for the poo poo apes to shoot down a couple of research drones, but it's impossible to gauge what is socially and culturally acceptable to these beings compared to what we think is okay

Oh no for sure it is a completely unhinged thing to do as far as I am concerned but also exactly in line with how these types think, especially from that generation. There were a lot of analogous things that took place during the cold war where both sides did things that were technically an act of war but not worth actually going to war over. Calculated risk. As you say though it's different when the other side is an unknowable alien intelligence and it's a hell of a risk to take.


Holy poo poo.

'It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.'

Whoa. If this is fiction, then the guy has done a ton of research, sure. But what is really interesting to me about this piece is the specific tone and overall construction of it. It doesn't read like fiction, it reads like a history. Certainly not impossible to do, but it'd require someone with real knowledge of how to craft a story in such a journalistic way and yet resist "telling" it/maintain that tone throughout without slipping.

Everytime I hear NHI I think back to


https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn15019-computer-circuit-built-from-brain-cells/


Growing braincells on computer hardware completely divorced of every other aspect that makes one human seems like it is an easy way to classify as not human.


I'm thinking that it is cheaper to grow brain cells and interact with the electrodes to problem solve than it would be making a quantum computer (more stable to). It's been nearly 20 years since this article.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Just tonight after dusk, I helped three trapped animals leave the boundaries of my household.

The first was a housefly that must have slipped in from a crack in the screen. It appeared on my computer desk in the glow of my monitor and walked a few inches away from my computer mouse, where it remained until I could retrieve a large tall drinking glass and a slip of paper to cover it up for a safe delivery outside from the balcony. The fly did not protest at any stage.

The second, an hour later, was an adult wolf spider dropping down on a web tether between my face and my monitor, dangling for a second, and then crawling back up after I asked 'whoa what's up friend' (a big step for me as an arachnophobe). Spider sat on the ceiling and watched me turn on the lights, get the cup and the paper and a chair and let me scoop it up and drop it outside on the balcony too, just like the fly, no probemo.

The third animal I only noticed in need of my help on the way back from letting out the spider, and it was my sickly cat who had collapsed from a bout of internal organ failure that would prove to be fatal. i stayed with him and tended to his vocalisms and held him in my arms during his lasts mortal breaths. He did not die alone or unloved.

What a day. Tonight I helped three animal leave the boundaries of my household.

I’ve been hovering back and forth on whether I should quit weed or not. My logic brain says there’s nothing wrong with recreational smoking, but my broken religion brain is like “what if that’s a sin!!” and my ufo brain says “what if it lowers your vibration!!” and my anxiety says “please don’t quit smoking ohgod.” and then I think about how I used to just believe in science and life was so much simpler lol. Anyone else itt think in similar patterns to me?
Follow your heart, self-examine things like societal guilts and pressures regarding your choices for recreation, and put some trust in whatever the plant teacher(s) in your life might try to tell you, whether that's daily weed-smoking, a 'special occasion high', or even just the inner needs and hungers of your gut biome.

If there was a single drug that humanity should want to take offplanet, it would be marijuana by my vote by far. Meanwhile, alcohol helped humanity have clean potable liquids for a good while, but there are clouds of ethanol floating out there in space... :beerpal:

but my gut says the taurid cloud is doing it somehow so its probably fine its just i guess ontologically shocking to see a bunch of beings doing the opposite of what they usually do

it looks like struggling flight too, that may just be me, less gliding and more battling to go the wrong way
