I think most people really don't get this: reality is not a Hollywood movie. If some guys somewhere got to bootstrap an AGI somehow, the AGI most probably is offline and turned off most of the time. Nobody in the field…
YEAH, that...
maybe we are just "ants" for them. That would be the current intelligence level of humanity for aliens. Doesn't the cities, human civilization on Earth feel like a big messy anthill? All our society could feel for them…
Just try to see with your eyes closed, its just a "soft-shutdown", the eyes keep operating.
This is a so millenial take on self-control that I cannot help to comment about it. Old school resilience and persistance is what you will miss all the way into "I will do as I please to do things". Not good. Many, many…
Didn't Oumuamua had a thick shield of similar to this proposal? ..just saying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOumuamua#Appearance,_sha...
Just logged in to say that a war has little to no potential strategic benefit to US and its allies. It has several, yes, lots of downsides. Nothing like WWW3 (that's so XXs), but China will probably take the chance to…
Exactly, why everyone would need two hands all their life?
My personal bet for the "UFO phenomenon" are in this theory since like, decades ago. I think in the next century or maybe in 200 years, this stuff would be like the hunt of witches in the medieval europe. A precise…
I would suppose that longer the period, the weirder / dangerous the alien species are to us. Think about some highly intelligent reptile predator species, with a taste for mamal meat. Yeah, the creeps are there. I think…
Maybe they are working out technical problems like that. I remember having read some stories about the Manhattan Project, how there were countless of hard practical problems to solve before to get the bomb blowing up in…
I think there are several historic precedents of advanced technology having a huge impact in sustaining or further advancing nation-states policies. Think about Spanish and Portuguese caravels, english longbows, etc. If…
your answer somewhat reminded me about a current trend in advanced neurological stuff, could be some paper (I'm not googling it sorry, no time now), and a recent interview with some Ace AI guy at Facebook. Something…

I would agree to a certain point, but I wouldn't take the "all people is crazy" too seriously, given the growing number of confirmed to be true -previously tin-foil hat- theories. Remember the "the government is…
Not gonna happen, surveillance is infrastructure, many have invested in this stuff, and it is actually working, you can catch lots of events. At this point many violent crimes, kidnapping have been solved using street…
At some point we could be lucky enough to spot some kind of alien ISS orbiting an otherwise non-interesting planet/moon. Or some kind of giant vessel arriving to a close star. Could be no luck at all too.
Maybe the transmitter is located far away from their civilization's main location. It should be a stronghold, just for comms, fully expendable, probably with no information in any local hard/soft/wetware about where…
We are not :-)
Maybe is encrypted because we are not the intended receiver.
Didn't read the whole thread just yet. but, to the point. So, it's aliens. what would they possible be communicating? What kind of information would actually matter to communicate over 500 million light years? I bet it…
Having been using FF since it went out, I have recently - maybe starting in 2018- been finding some broken sites here and there, mostly new flashy sites, but I found some government, university related manually…
I believe thinking FF vs. Chrome like IE vs. other browsers is a bit unfair here. IE was a dinosaur, a complete fiasco as almost unmantained software. Now we have this software, open-source Chromium actively mantained,…
haha, I get it sounds really crazy, but we are talking about advanced genetic engineering spanning millions of years in the future, so I though this other crazyness couldn't be that much out of place. You're quite right…
