Question: Why should you only marry a dyed redhead, but never a natural?

Human Answer: Because you get all the Red, but not the crazy.

A good anarchist would justify his swagger like this. Because there is no god and human activity on erf is just organized around changing modes of production and distribution, each producing their own set of conflicts, then anything beyond total self dependence and reliance is already flawed and should be avoided in principle. It is a bold reduction of man to beast again, a refusal to attempt any politics at all. A complete return to Rousseau's noble savage, Stirner's voluntary egoist, Stan Lee's Dead Pool. If we are certain there is no more chance for revolution, then i think we should return to our original barbaric state to avoid conflicts produced by market arrangements alternative to Marxism. I see no other way forward. We must venture beyond the thunderdome.

Assumption one, that mankind is like other irrational animals and demands an alpha, real or imagine. False reasoning.
Second, that a mind is unlike any other part of a living organism and can choose its own function. False reasoning.
So, your entire outlook is that of a dolt, pure shit.

What is said in the Bible, is that mankind will one day come to understand, i.e., we are still evolving to becoming functional as a life support system, which should be obvious, except the mind of man is still in a kind of dream state, it cannot understand what it is becoming. So, no, the Bible uses metaphor for a reason, only a mind evolved to a certain level can actually, as written in the Book itself, start to understand it.

First Contact Protocol, one day, a long time from now, we too will be helping other forms of life evolve.

Oh dear. 3I/atlas and R2 Swan are performing a pincer maneuver and approaching the erf in flanking positions.

... and the Don just ordered 500 more troops to DC to protect the White House during the invasion. The two guard just shot, and the suspect may all be actors... a pretext to justify moving 500 more troops in.

Somebody check hospitals in the DC area and try to get confirmation that the guards are there and in real critical condition. We also wanna keep track of this suspect's activity and make sure he's a real shooter going to a real jail and not a guy who'll be on a plane to Belarus in 24 hrs.

You need to lay off the Avi Loeb videos. The man is insane.

You take that name out of your mouth! Avi is a great man, visionary, and interstellar patriot who, like the producers of Star Trek, wants to take you where no man has gone before (and i don't mean Ellen DeGeneres's bedroom).

Every politician in a position of power should have to do that at least once every six months.

There was a slight deviation in the expected movement of 3I/atlas when it was slingshotting around the sun.

Incidentally, that slight deviation put it on a path to take it along the edge of Jupiter's gravitational field... where its gravity is stronger than the sun's... precisely where you want your spacecoaster if you wanna drop probes or satellites around Jupiter and not worry about em floating off toward the sun.

Alternatively, if there were no deviation in the path around the sun, it would have had to make a more costly change in course to get on the path to put it on the edge of Jupiter's gravity field. So, it may have used the sun's gravity and maneuvered during the slingshot so only very little energy to do so would be needed.

Aliens are sharp, mate. You gotta be to fly to a whole 'nuther fuckin solar system. The astrophysicists and engineers they have on the ship have got to be among the best in the galaxy, and their sun energy harvester/convertors are top shelf tech at the moment. That's the light tail you see coming from the front of the two ships. They're conical gravitational fields that project from a generator. It captures and condenses the suns light into what become photon plasma cells that are used as fuel. Light goes in the front, and thrust comes out the back. Top of line, gentlemen. Some pretty fucked up physics we don't understand yet. As long as you can find a star within three billion miles of where you are, you can use it to refuel before you run out.

Do you have any idea what Type two or three civilisations would be capable of? They wouldn't need to be chugging around our solar system confusing ants like us.

Mate. The erf is a very rare type of planet positioned just right from a star (so to not bake or freeze) with a veritable buffet of precious elements and resources for the taking.

99.276 percent of planets are either dense clouds of gas, hot mush, solid rock or frozen ice. So when you find a planet like Erf when your astronomers are scanning the galaxy YOU GO TO IT. It's a no-bainer.

Those space goons are gonna start mining the planet and either kill us all with a manufactured air and water bourne virus or enslave us to do manual labor (cheaper than machines). Who knows what they want. Fossil fuels? Gold? Water? Some other metals? What? They're not comin' for the times square new year's eve party, though, i can promise you that.

Not only that, but these boys from space have been here for thousands of years, they are masochist, and have just been waiting for us to evolve so we can give them a good fight!

Do you have a defective seal on your microwave oven?

Psychology is commensurate with the principles of Language functionally resident in the mind as our Grammar Matrix, therefore, one can accurately determine intelligence solely from the form of behavior.

promethean75, you are a real tree swinger.

Now, here's the thing. You can't tell from just our orbiting satellites whether or not we're badasses not to be fucked with. So the aliens are creepin' around on the down low before they land, trying to figure out what kind of weaponry we have. They may have already dropped scouts back in September before swinging around the sun. The point is you don't just roll up on an occupied planet with your guns out. You research it first. Yes, giant orbiting space stations are a good indication that the planet is run by a pretty hardcore intelligent species... but just because we don't have giant orbiting space stations (and just a piddly little floating space apartment with two chinese guys and a russian in it) doesn't mean we don't have some missles that'll blow a fuckin mountain in half. I don't give a damn what kind of fancy extraterrestrial superhard fuselage your ship has. A thermonuclear blast is gonna turn you into cosmic pancake batter.

That's basic galactic street knowledge common to all seasoned space travelers.

Phil. We may be to the space goons what cows are to us. Do you extend your "peace and Plato to all life support systems" vulcan philosophy to cows? No. Instead you eat them.
