  • What do you win? No seriously.

    Winning means you shut down the other person and makes him feel stupid for being wrong? Then you havent won anything. You just lost.

    The entire school system is explicitly training people to be afraid of being wrong.

    You only learn something when you are wrong. It should be celebrated to be wrong. But in our culture, we have made it into a ego thing. That being right means you are better, smarter, more educated. Such bullshit.



  • Yeah unless our leaders somehow evolve into decent human beings, we are going straight to the sci fi world of robot surveillance and dystopia.

    Even newer tech leaders like sam altman seems completely nuts as human beings.

    But its ok. Not every species is smart enough to survive and work together with its environment instead of against it. Its a shame though, because I think humans could have done amazing things. We could have built a very nice world here, with happiness as the priority. We could have explored the universe together and seen the beauty of it all.

    What we did wrong was not allowing our heart to be part of decisions. We became mind only, making calculated decisions to benefit ourselves and not others.



  • Yeah. I think science fiction is exactly what we are talking about here. Its science that we think is fiction, because of our current knowledge.

    Your opinion is based in current science and of course its not possible to do manned space travel across the galaxy using what we know at this point.

    Im just saying that i believe its likely and possible that other species have far more advanced knowledge about space and physics then we do. I dont see why humans would have a full grasp of it at this point. Whatever laws we think are unbreakable will most likely not be.


  • I know how big it is. But aliens are not coming here in their first probes they sent out into space. If they are here, they have had space travel for at least thousands of years, probably much more. So they have found ways to travel that we are not aware of, perhaps light speed travel or possibly wormholes, teleportation, who knows.

    I guess the reason people think so different about this is that they assume that aliens would travel with only human knowledge of space travel. But we have been doing it for only 75 years now, and never sent humans anywhere except the moon.

    To me, looking at space travel as if others would do it the same way we do, with our limited experience… It doesnt make sense. We are beginners at space travel.





  • I have one too that i cant explain.

    I was at a friends house and we were watching tv, sitting completely still and being silent. Suddenly the lid of a metal cup (that was standing on a shelf above the TV) flied straight up, hit the ceiling with a loud bang, then came down again, and hit the floor in front of us. Naturally we were very spooked.

    We were looking for some explanation but couldnt find any reason this would happen. It was alot of force coming from nowhere.

    Made me open minded when it comes to these things.
