Life is nothing more than a struggle to exist. This would be universal. Should there be any alien species out there, they too would be familiar with conflict. Consider when the Europeans sailed to the Western Hemisphere. You had the warriors who sought to find riches and to establish themselves as near-kings. You had the scientists who wished to explore the new worlds and record the new species of animals and plantlife. And you had the missionaries. The warriors were interested in conquest, nothing more while the scientists and missionaries had other goals and often found themselves siding with the native tribes against the warriors.
Then if you think about North America...different European nations fighting over control of North America and the Natives would side with one side or the other.
I should think that if there is other intelligent life out there, it will be a mixed bag. | |

Sorry, I seldom think about problems from ET, as well as most people in China. Because we have known many times from Movies that ETs only attack and catch Americans
Yeah, it seems like asteroids and comets really have it in for us Americans, too. | |

I would refine this to life is a struggle to survive. I would expect that conflict would arise out of pre-emption rather than a struggle for resources. It is asking a lot of a species to trust their survival to the rationality of aliens. Trust in their rationality over hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of years. I think many species would simply focus inward, stay hidden, and eliminate anybody that looks like they might someday evolve into a threat. Frankly, I doubt an ancient and advanced civilization (in the realm of 500,000 years advanced) would see much value in trade and cultural exchanges. | |

If they developed interstellar technology fairly early on, then their violent and abusive tendencies would not have been wiped out, and would see us as food. If they only developed the technology later on, they would have had to get on with each first, and developed more diplomatic ways of dealing with daily life. | |

But if at some point they had run into an aggressive, superior and paranoid species themselves, they would no longer be around to be diplomatic with. | |

Posted: 7/26/2007 9:08:34 AM | I am reading these posts and can't get past the feeling that we as a species are incredibly vain to think that we would be able to even recognize when something from outside our realm of experience were to "take over". Also, depends on your definition of life itself. Just thoughts. | |

Hmmm, perhaps c*ckroaches are really aliens who have infiltrated every nook and cranny on this planet. Yes, they have already outproduced us! Wait, they were here long before homo sapiens so I guess we must be the invaders.
Maybe we should be thinking nano-scale such as space viruses that have taken over and are seemingly invincible... the common cold perhaps? | |

ZIVSHALABA CKOP BARALEESHAMAAT!
[Looking up in Betelgeusian-to-English dictionary] It says here....
FRESH MEAT, PEOPLE!!! LET'S ROLL!!!!! | |

He talks about how radio signals are a inefficient way of creating a beacon, and that maybe it could work but it is only one of many many options.
Other things include light frequencies in repeating patterns, and gathering data ON various frequencies of light and energy.
In his documentary he shows some publicly available NASA footage depicting swirling pulsing balls of energy in the space outside of our atmosphere converging and acting un-naturally in reaction to some signifigant and non signifigant events; The tether incident, something that happened in africa, etc
At one point he talks about millions of balls of ice that are coming from deep space and hitting our atmosphere which in turn causes the O2 to become O3 (Ozone) as it enters the atmosphere thus mitigating/healing our ozone layer. He then goes on to say that there have been a total of 0 incidents of these 20 ton balls of ice ever hitting a sattellite or space shuttle, which in his correspondence with NASA scientists is not denied as evidence of "intelligence". Beyond that the NASA scientists are not allowed to comment, and their spokesperson is for lack of better words, a complete lying idiot.
If you can acquire it.. I reccommend it.. its about 4 hours long in 2 segments. part 1 and.. part 2 ! | |

Posted: 8/1/2007 10:52:31 AM | | He goes on to explain how there is some evidence that we have been watched by some advanced race for alot longer than our recorded history (10,000 years+ ago) which is quite disconcerting because it means that we are either some sort of experiment or David Sereda is full of previously eaten food ! | |

Given the sizes involved, I would take it as a sign of intelligence if one *had* hit something in orbit.
The surface area of the earth is 510 million square kilometers. The surface area of everything up in orbit is probably less than a square kilometer, and the surface area of those million 20 ton blocks is probably less than a square kilometer. | |
