Ask HN: Do You Believe in Aliens?

7•l___l•4mo ago
Do you believe there's intelligent life out there outside Earth?

Comments

andsoitis•4mo ago
> there's

The problem with “there” and “is” is that general relativity gets in the way.

FrankWilhoit•4mo ago
Yes, but there is no way for them to get here. Don't be disappointed, that's a good thing.

1. Do I believe other life has existed, does exist, and/or will exist elsewhere in the universe? Yes, with pretty close to 100% confidence.

2. Do I believe other intelligent life forms visit earth in their flying saucers, abduct people, anal probe them, abduct and slaughter cows, build pyramids, and - apparently - crash often? No, not really. I mean, I can't rule it out, but my personal subjective Bayesian prior towards this notion would probably be something like 0.001 or so. But that's actually up from years past, as we learn more about more possibly inhabitable planets that are closer to Earth than was previously known, etc.

Basically both of my positions boil down to the same factor: the size of the universe. It seems to me that the universe is too damn big to not have other intelligent life. But also, it's so big that the other intelligent life is likely to be too far away for us to have any interactions with them.

If aliens were technologically superior and aware of Earth then by what context would we be aware of them? We could already have been conquered and simply not know it or have the means to become aware of it.

They’ve been here along with us for ten thousand years. Don’t be spooked by them.

It is the humans you should fear.

It’s funny because I haven’t only been contacted by people of one race of beings.

I also know that a huge population of humans (~500,000) can move around in our minds and make us trip balls in our own heads. It’s like the CIA Stargate report only not cargo cult. Power is real.

So in my 20s I was a psychonaught and I had these dream stories of which I have written much (offline.) and these were the stories of those “lizard” peoples who live very far off, some 35,000 light years to their hub of civilization (a toroidal doughnut around the galactic core). And tbh, these are all fantasy to me, though in this story some crashed here on a piratical escape and made themselves disappear (edited something of themselves into variously favored lines of Man.) they had to disappear because if who ever was looking for them found Earth their play palace, they would plunder it for their own fun or profit.

The only sacred left anywhere in this universe is the taboo against being the ones who desecrate a natural wonder. All else is fodder for power (among those.)

The second came as I am prominent among Powers and of these I have discussed quite a lot.

America is so corrupt and treacherous there will unlikely be a significant revelation on their part in our lifetimes.

To those visiting “greys”, ten years is like last week.

Those hellfire missiles are a psyop on Americas own government to spend in preparations for more enemies without.

America’s enemies are within.

I believe it is highly likely. To believe otherwise is just arrogant and unrealistic.

There are trillions of galaxies in the universe. A typical galaxy like the Milky Way has hundreds of billions of stars. We know it is quite common for a star to have multiple orbiting planets.

The odds that one planet orbiting one star in one galaxy is home to the only intelligent life in the universe is essentially zero.

I know. About a dozen other people know. Because I summoned them to show themselves.

In 1982. Right there in the 1st floor of this building https://www.flickr.com/photos/metaroll/2787004711/ , https://www.flickr.com/photos/eckhard-henkel/51209182443/ during a little celebration, where I've been disturbed during a 'presentation' of future things by holografic means by the then chief of station.

To shut him up, and let me continue. Which I've succeeded in. Sort of. Because they appeared via holografic means, also. Mostly. With the exception of 2 entities, which physically entered, riding in on something like star wars hover bike from 'up there', shrinking themselves to large toy size, to fit in the room. Motioning the chief to get the F out of the way of my projection :-)
