I propose that going into space is a worthy endeavor on its own without the need to find aliens. The journey of exploration enables us to invent new things that often help our lives on Earth.
I agree, but most major space-faring nations are democracies, which tend toward a popularity contest with respect to issues. It's just not exciting enough for the average voter to support large expenditures without a fantastic story.
"Early expectations of stray radio signals leaking from technological civilizations were overly optimistic—we ourselves have gone radio faint with digitization."
Is this true? Have we been transmitting less RF over time? Where is the data for this?
Who says we haven't seen any ? Maybe we're just looking in the wrong places.
There are plenty of reports, paintings, drawings, visions told by people who have been contacted by alien lifeforms, but the scientific community just decides to completely ignore these people, like they don't exist of that they are just telling some fairytales, or labeling these people as crazy.
Think outside the box. If there was an intelligent race of aliens who have invented travel that enabled them to leave their home planets, surely they must have went through some kind of spiritual evolution also not to kill themselves or destroy themselves while inhabiting that planet.
What if, and this is just speculation, this kind of spiritual evolution could also open up whole new possibilities of travel, through time and space, why should they be travelling physically in physical 3D -space, when they could be travelling between time and space, even existing between dimensions.
So we could already have access to these beings and other worlds, but seeing them would not require physical travel, but instead interdimensional travel, through opening up our spiritual side and looking inside ourselves, opening up this possibility for us to travel between dimensions too.
What if we are not seeing them is because we are still so much trying to kill ourselves and other nations, instead of focusing on finding inner peace and spiritual development that would allow us to meet these beings .. ?
The fact that isolated groups of Buddhist monks haven't yet managed interdimensional space travel more or less drops the plausibility of your suggestion to zero.
One can posit literally any absurd hypothetical scenario. About all yours has going for it is that it parses as syntactically valid English.
Thanks. How do you know they havent managed it ? Yeah, that's part of the problem. If you did some research or had experienced these things yourself, you would have some insight to know that it happens all the time.
But we are stuck in our paradigm of having to wait for science to prove us what is true and what is not. So until we break this paradigm, we might never know.
I know, this writing wont help anything, you cannot understand it until you experience anything like it, but I'm just kinda frustrated that anybody who says otherwise than our major religion of science nowadays, gets shot down. Maybe just better to be quiet and continue on forwards.
Science does not "prove anything". It just offers an explanation which can be falsified (can be described objectively, and makes predictions which, if refuted, disprove the theory). Other belief systems are based on non-falsifiable theories (or explanations, or beliefs)
That is sciences greatest strength, and at the same time greatest weakness. What happens when something cannot be proven with modern methods ? Then we choose not to believe in it at all.
Say what you will about it only being a system of proof, people use it like it defines their world views, and thus it is similar to religions.
It boxes people in thinking inside a world view that might have been created 100 years ago.
But thank you for this explanation, it makes me understand more why people are so keen on defending these gained proofs and thus their world views also.
Note that I am in no way saying that science does not work, but it can get in the way when dealing with things that have no way of being proven with scientific methods. I use science everyday and I am thankful for it existing, but it should not be the only source of information that is accepted mainstream.
Our "major religion of science" is responsible for feeding seven billion people, the creation of vaccines, the availability of Internet, and furthering our actual understanding of the past and future of our universe.
Who said I don't belive in science ? I am a computer scientist, I am not attacking science. Just pointing out that there is a major flaw in the system also.

How about yours?
