Do you believe there are other intelligent life forms out there?More intelligent

More intelligent than us?
Do you think they are aware of us or that we exist
Maybe they have visited our planet before? Hundreds or even thousands of years ago?
Maybe they even monitor our planet right now, and keep tabs on what we are doing.
Maybe they even manipulate how our planet is run. They have control over how things work here.
Maybe you don't believe what I am asking is true (pretty big leap of faith, I know), but how many think some of the above are real possibilities? Which, and where do you draw the line?

Yes. And I think they've been here.

If there is any other life form out there that is "intelligent" it has evolved to the point of being technology and not something carbon based like hunans.

Yeah. My dog is a more intelligent lifeform than me
Posted on 2/25/15 at 11:52 pm to UFownstSECsince1950
If it's out there, it's probably a life form so far elevated above our plane of understanding that we wouldn't know it if we were staring right at it, tbh.

Yes. The government knows, but there is good reason they don't tell the public. The aliens gave them strict orders not to until we achieve warp speed in our own. Otherwise that would break the prime directive.

The universe is so vast, I'd almost be amazed if there wasn't some other form of life somewhere out there. And I'd assume it's pretty unlikely we'd ever cross paths.

This is now a daily thread. Aliens must be raping y'all at night and programming all of you to start stupid threads about whether they exist

They love our junk food.

All of this. Our definition of "life" is pathetically narrow (although understandable given the makeup of our species' faculties), especially when held up to the obvious pantheon of celestial possibilities.

Uh huh.

Give me some examples....

I think there is another intelligent life form out there that is watching us work hard here on Earth while they dick off on their phones with social media.
Soon they will slip us their email address and ask us to send them our notes.
We'd better have a good answer ready for them when this happens.

this the coast to coast thread?

Robots bruh. Implanted with the consciousness of millennia old master race that keeps exponentially expanding it's knowledge...and wisdom. Whoa
Posted on 2/26/15 at 12:18 am to UFownstSECsince1950
Of what?

The Fermi Paradox
Read up. It's a long one, but it deals with this shite and one of the things I love to talk about.

It turns out that when it comes to the fate of humankind, this question is very important. Depending on where The Great Filter occurs, we’re left with three possible realities: We’re rare, we’re first, or we’re fricked.
