You probably ask why I posted picture with ants nest. Well, let me explain.


We perceive ants as mindless do-what-the-feck-you-want little creatures who work every day. They have their own hierarchy system, queen and workers digging tunnels and carrying pine needles to build their nest bigger.

At the same time somewhere out there in universe, could be more advanced technologically and more intelligent species who perceive us just as those ants.

Would I be surprised if aliens attack us with thousands of atomic bombs or something even worse? Not at all.

Let me ask you a question: What would you do, if you buy land and one day you discover ant nest? Well, as every single owner out there either get rid of it yourself or get someone to do it for you. Now what if, we humans are some insects in someone's "land"? What if some alien "bought" our galactic and didn't discover us yet. I know it may sound like a non sense or even childish, but those ants call this nest their home. Same as we humans call this earth our home. Just because we cant understand something does it mean we have to reject idea of other species or more appropriately individuals controlling not 20m square land but entire galactic? Why not? We never know.

But who knows, maybe we are already at someone's mercy and should be grateful to be still alive?

Probably not, but I don't think that we'll come into contact with any other intelligent lifeforms before we go extinct

Well, the way things are going in the world and politics, this could be quite possible.
 
If Aliens come into contact with me, I'll give them teh aids

There was a pretty long discussion about it here, started on May 6.

Its really interesting discussion, to see different point of views out there. But it was good read I must say. When you start thinking about it and realize that our current technology wont even allow us to reach Mars and yet different galaxy...feelsbadman...Imagine, literally next galaxy to us, some advanced form of life or perhaps humanoids as well. More or less advanced than us, in futuristic technology or prehistoric. That would be interesting to find out.
 
It would be incredibly arrogant to think that, in all the trillions of galaxies out there, which contain hundreds of billions of stars in each of them, and most of those stars having planets orbiting, that we are the only planet on which life has formed and evolved into sentience. If you really believe that, you fail to understand just how large of a number one trillion is.
 
Lol @ "we". I'm dumb as fuck bruh
 
We don't know. Multi celled life only formed on Earth once. A bit of a mystery why it didn't happen again.
 
Were not even the only highly intelligent (I say this knowing the hubris of it) creatures on our own planet. In the universe not a chance.
 
Crows Dolphins Orcas/whales Coleoidea say we may not be even the smartest creature in our own pond.
 
I don't think so, I also don't think that we are intelligent..some are more intelligent than we are right here on earth..after all how Smart is it to fuck up and destroy your own home.

Do we know that? Could life have formed in different places on Earth, maybe just thousands of years apart? It would make sense. It's possible that the primitive life from which all current life evolved was just dominant and wiped out the others.

This was the argument in the other thread. It wouldn't be like most people characterize it, oh look, a doglike creature 3 galaxies away. Even at a one in a trillion chance for life you are talking 10,000,000,000 technologically advanced races because of the sheer size of the known universe. A quote from the other thread.

They go on to say that in the past it would be a pessimistic view to place the probability of an advanced civilization at 1 in a trillion but now we know that even at one in a trillion, there would have been around 10,000,000,000, that's right, 10 Billion technologically advanced civilizations. In fact, so many that a person would not even be able to view a list of the names of these races in a lifetime. A vast sea of advanced races so numerous it is almost beyond imagination.
 
I believe it was Arthur C Clarke who said, "Either we're alone in the universe or we're not. Both possibilities are equally frightening."
