Topic: If Aliens Existed....

I would suppose that Howard Phillips Lovecraft got it right about Extra Terrestrials from the first time around....The Aliens actually don't give jack shit about us & we're living in a nihilsitic uncaring universe (A universe that is not human-centric) that proves that life is meaningless and man is always been doomed into exinction regardless (If those who ever read Lovecrafts Shadow out of Time where it depicted a Extra Terresteral Race called the Great Race of Yith who were Time Travelers who had the ability to transfer their minds into other Individuals throughout the Universe to gather information to their 'Great Library"...They also didn't focus on humanity aswell)

My other point is that if we humans sometime in the far future landed on a another planet somewhere in the Universe, The Natives of the Planet would call us "Extra Terrestrals" or "Aliens" aswell and they form crack pot New Age beliefs that how 'we' are going to bring peace and whatnot....but in Reality, We humans don't give a f*ck about the race and move on to the next planet....

Re: If Aliens Existed....

Not move on to the next planet, rather stay and exploit the planet. The Spaniards did not move on when they encountered the Central American natives, rather they killed or enslaved them, took their land and gold, and converted the rest to Catholicism.

The idea of a "nihilistic uncaring universe" does not account for intelligent life that cares about other civilizations the same way we care about our livestock, or how our ancestors cared about their slaves. Advanced alien civilizations aren't so stupid and weak as to wallow in nihilism. Rather, they increasingly align themselves with purpose, and unfortunately that purpose may include the enslavement, exploitation, or extermination of others.

Acquiring fringe knowledge is like digging for diamonds in a mine field.

Don Juan from the Carlos books said we live in a Predatorial Universe.  And of course their are benevelant allies as well, who we need now more then ever.  Distinquishing the two can sometimes bug the hell out of me too.

But after we been exploiting Planets for so long just wait till we reach an Azathoth like Ultraterrestral creature at the center of the universe just to remind us that our entire existance is nothing but a joke and from all our power struggles & achievements throughout history actually ment nothing this whole entire time (Just like the scene where El Topo confronts the 4th Gunmaster. The master himself has nothing and 'doesn't care about life' and he shoots himself in the heart...thus El Topo recieves nothing)

Re: If Aliens Existed....

Our lives mean as much as you make them mean, simple enough. Wether it's on a universal scale or very very minimal scale. Who cares what aliens think. If they think we're useless and pitiful they can go f*ck themselves, I'm not here to be useful in their terms. If they think we're a joke, I'm sure the joke is being played on them just as well.
