this is another reason why we will NEVER be introduced to intelligent alien life. If they are looking at you- tube oh man forget it they aint even gonna stop for gas. Wow beyond messed up.
But i did see a documentary on a lady that actualy legaly married a carnival ride she said it was the only thing that ever gave her
an ... eh hem .... well the woopdy do lol
We are so fucked as a species sigh...

If you were there, we're all ears.
I wasn’t. It does not automatically follow it is “all” conjecture. Next time you want to use that word, realize that it refers to conclusions made without enough information to make that very conclusion. It does not mean that everything we know about a topic we don’t know everything about is conjecture. Having been in a certain time is not a requirement to proof something happened.

I was hoping for a 1st hand account of a million years ago.

Don't know anything more than I did when I was conjecturing.

have you never sit with a bunch of kids in study hall? do they not draw pictures of aliens and spaceships, amongst other things?
why is it so hard to conceive that artistic people had day dreams thousands of years ago? why can't they dream of beings from somewhere else, who will cure all their ills, and take them to a better place? or perhaps the artist is a little paranoid, and sees them destroying us....
until they find an alien corpse, or a spaceship hidden in one of the pyramids....that's all any of this is to me, the fantasies of artists, and the fantasies of the people looking at that art work.

and this is why i don't think aliens are ever going to come here....number one, we live in bumfuque, unless the aliens want to go antiquing, they have no fucking possible reason to come here. anything we posses, is available closer, and in a larger scale. we are nothing, and have nothing, on a galactic scale.
Why would they come here?!

Why not?

Why did humans travel out of Africa and start to inhabit the whole globe? Why did men make ships and sail to far off places risking their lives?

EXPLORATION!

Do you believe that humans are the only beings inclined to explore? No

Just because our planet may have "nothing" (in your opinion) that the aliens want to investigate, doesn't mean they wont want to explore our region of space. If the aliens are capable of galactic or even intergalactic exploration then we would have no freaking idea what technology they would use or are capable of. You guys have to open your minds a bit more. Stop thinking of Hollywood and start realizing that we may not even understand what they look like and how they travel. They can have a million years or more on us tech wise. The freaking universe is "supposedly" 13.6 billion years old. How long have we been around? We are infants.

Think about what people did thousands of years ago. They tried to draw what they saw in the skies. They didn't understand what they were seeing so they drew their pictures as "understandable" (at that time) explanations. Those weren't fucking dreams. They weren't high on dope and thought the shapes of the clouds were funny. They tried to explain, by drawing people on magic carpets or chariots, what they were actually seeing so their communities would be able to understand what their pictures were saying. Then "religion" comes into play because the things they saw were so freaking amazing that they couldn't understand it. So they called it GOD and worshiped it.

It's the same thing when people drew "angels" with halo's and wings. You actually believe that shit? That is how they "explained" what they saw. Just like we try to explain the things we see today. Our tech is way more advanced today but we always have an excuse for shit we don't understand or can't explain. So they call them angels or demons and forced this shit down peoples throats for millennia. Not only forced but beaten and tortured to death if you didn't follow it.

How do you unlearn something that may have been wrong for thousands of years. Beaten, tortured, murdered and force fed so much crap for so long your brain finally says "fuck it", it must be all true. If you all want to believe in religion that's fine with me. You can believe all the stories you like and I wont bash anyone for it. But my ship has sailed way beyond religion now. I don't believe in any of it at all. I asked myself a thousand times over if there is a creator in all of this madness. I keep coming up with the same answer..........that something made all of this. This shit didn't just pop up out of nowhere. The thing is this, the question has to end at some point.

For example, if we were made by a billion year old civilization and they created the universe....................then who made them? Did another civilization create them? and so on and so on etc etc etc.. The answer has to finally end at some point. At some point, in some where and when, something became self aware of its own presence and started all this shit we see.

Open your fucking minds and unlearn what you have learned. Think big, way big, and out of the box. You just might start to see things in a whole different light.

Yes, I am stoned at the moment, but I have felt this way my whole life and I will never stop trying to learn more :blsmoke:

open yours, why do you expect an alien culture to have the same drives and desires we have? thats small minded thinking....we are the way we are because we evolved from simians...we're inquisitive, we like to explore...maybe aliens evolved from a different type of ancestor, and they have no desire to explore, maybe they're happy where they are....or maybe they evolved from predators and will have no use for us but as a temporary food source as they expand their empire....
my lifetime of learning has led me to the views i have...some people are learners, and some are dreamers, and it's the job of both to inspire the other....no one here is inspiring me to believe anything different than what i already do
i think it much more likely that people were drawing their dreams than drawing actual things they saw in the sky. i wasn't there, and neither were you, so neither of us can say for certain what they saw, but we both believe what we believe. i find it far more plausible that artistic people expressed that creativity in these drawings and sculptures, than that they were working from actual spacecraft or aliens. but as i said, i wasn't there. until someone who was there lets us both know what happened, we both have to go with what feels right to us.

Yeah its all a matter of scale and probability I think. And as the probability of alien life is possible and highly likely, the probability they have visited us would be rather certain. So, why they have never made direct contact is strange. I'll have to assume it's because we are so fucked up, they wouldn't want to make contact (or they watch us from afar as entertainment) as well as we have nothing as far as resources that they need.

Hey @cindysid, how you been? Is winter over down in your neck of the woods?
I've been battling thrips for the past month but everything is looking great now. Some of the gear that a friend sent me is doing really good, Ass Cheese and Tattooine in particular. I also have one from a seed that fell out of the pack. It is a big sturdy monster. I named it Sandhill for old times sake!
