ah okay thanks for clearing that up

>it doesn't matter because the most valuable form of currency on the planet is AIDS and nothing will ever change that. And nothing will ever change that. The most valuable form of currency on the planet is AIDS.

> the most valuable form of currency on the planet is AIDS

Nothing will ever change that

All hail AIDS

>you have AIDS

>AIDS is the most valuable form of currency on Earth

Nothing will ever change that OK

OP hasn't found intelligent life even within himself, let alone out in the stars.

>>11167899
Get over yourself

There are no mistakes or flukes in nature, only rarities. Nature follows its course without aim or motive.

>>11167780
Humanity is a mistake, OK.
What about a jellyfish then? Mistake too?
Well, how about amoeba? Now, that's more interesting.
Archaeon? Virus?

fun fact, dinosaurs lifed when earth was on the other side of our galaxy.

>>11167780
>The reason we haven't found intelligent life outside Earth is because WE'VE NEVER GONE ANYWHERE LOOKING FOR LIFE (intelligent or otherwise), aside from our immediate, inhospitable neighbors.

Since we've barely left our own doorstep, we're relying entirely on other life finding us, AND announcing themselves.
Don't forget, Earth has been here for 4.6 billion years, but even if we had a "take me to your leader" style visit as little as a few hundred years ago, we'd remember them as angels, gods or demons, NOT E.T.s.

You're the one making vast pronouncements the "muh unwashed masses" about the angsty, dark truth of what a tragic mistake our entire existence is.

>>11168336
>>11168339
>>11168345
Get over yourself, the entirety of every human who has lived or ever will live isn't even a grain of sand on the beach of the universe. Your life is less than nothing.

>>11168430
with this mindset you will never archieve great things in your life.
maybe you're the one who will make spacetravel real, but you're too depressed to even try it.

>>11168430

I am "over myself".
You're the one that needs a girlfriend and a little more weed.

what do you want? that humans crawl back into the caves we came from? or that we find a way to colonize the galaxy? i would prefer to colonize the galaxy.

>>11168439
>i would prefer to colonize the galaxy
Why?

>>11167780
>what we think of as the peak of a species is nothing but a fluke, humanity is a freak of nature that lucked into dominance
True

>You think your intelligence and consciousness are something to take pride in, a gift worth treasuring. That all species aspire to self awareness and a limitless exploration of the world as it exists in your minds eye.
False

>We're a mistake, a one in infinity chance, we're alone in the universe and always will be.
How omniscient of you.

Don't forget to sage!

>>11168478
Sage hasn't had any effect for like 6 years now, it's also a bannable offence to announce sage

>>11168454
the better question is why not.

>>11168454
because it's interesting to discover new things. did columbus asked why?

>>11168454
nice attempt to avoid giving a answer

>>11168482
False. And if you just post to announce sage you'll maybe get banned, rightly so because that's stupid. But /sci/ constantly whines about idiots and schizos making threads, yet can't help themselves from posting in them. If you don't think a thread deserves to exist, but must post because you're a sperg, you don't have to bump it.

>>11168533
>False
It's true, I remember it happening and all the passive agressive faggot bitches who'd use it like toilet paper were throwing a tantrum their magic word had its power removed

>>11168506
Yes, we should go back to pre civilisation.

Why do you want to colonise the galaxy?

>>11168485
Because it should be obvious to everyone by now that the pursuit of "more" is a dead end, look at how far we've come and how far we've fallen.

>>11168563
I checked, obviously. This is /sci/ after all. I'm right.

>>11168587
That post was also a sage, this one is a bump. Check for yourself. I'm bumping now because even though I don't give a shit about OP, I feel like what we're talking about right now matters to a lot of /sci/.

>Reality is secondary to the enforced rules of civilisation

describe animance.

Nature in its purest form has no movement.

no energy.

An outside force is responsible for the universe we exist in.

There is proof for a GOD right here using basic bitch physics.

You ALL FUCK OFF

The reason no physical aliens have visited Earth is twofold:
1) Sentient entities first live a life in this 3D density, if they are good and pure love, they get harvested into their nearest star (their heaven); they then travel the universe as sentient light forever (p.s. it's amazing). The idea of traveling from one star system to another as a 3D density creature is laughable. I'm sure it's been done though.
2) There is a non-intervention policy among the stars and their respective planets. Each planet is a "planned net" of love, by love, for love.

It's natural for life to seek growth. Seeking personal growth is a beneficial evolutionary trait, while seeking species growth is a beneficial social trait.

Saying "It's hopeless" doesn't make you deep, it makes you a weakling. We shall continue to try, and fuck you for saying we should even consider otherwise.

>>11168864
>It's natural for life to seek growth.
You're deluded if you see technological progression as growth.

>>11168888
>A curious species seeking answers isn't natural.
>An intelligent species seeking to make its life easier isn't natural.
>A dexterous species using its knowledge to build and improve its station isn't natural.

You're dumber than you seem if you believe this bullshit, Luddite bitch.

>>11168909
If your beloved "progress" is so amazing, why do suicide rates continue to rise year on year? Why is the leading cause of under 45's suicide and over 45's heart disease? Why is 50% of America on anti depressants?

>>11167780
I think with how vast the universe is, and how many exoplanets (and potentially, but more than likely, extragalactic planets) there are that may be able to support life, intelligent extraterrestrial life is more than likely, we just haven't found it yet. We've barely even sent out any signs that we exist, and don't forget, the Voyager probe we sent out years ago hasn't ever even left the Solar system and won't for thousands of years. And obviously, radio signals take a lot of time to reach their destination and plus, there are the odds that signals won't be detected as well.

Anyway, >>11168293 is correct. If conditions for life are permissible, life will spring forth.

>>11168917
I never said it was amazing. I said it was natural. As with all things, technology has its place, along with and its positive and negatives. In humanity's case, we've collectively decided that, with how much easier it makes life, technology is worth its cost.

Meanwhile, damning it while simultaneously using it makes you sound like an idiot.

>>11168336
This. As much as I hate to admit it, it'll probably be another thousand or two years before we even possibly be in a position to really see intelligent life.

>>11168917
>If your beloved "progress" is so amazing, why do suicide rates continue to rise year on year?
That's the nature of more developed and educated societies, anon.

>>11168965
>That's the nature of more developed and educated societies, anon.
So you'd rather have everyone killing themselves out of sheer misery so long as you get your iphone and hot chocolate?

>>11168956
>Meanwhile, damning it while simultaneously using it makes you sound like an idiot.
What choice has civilisation left me?

You're not allowed to leave it, to live off the land. You'll be pestered the rest of your life if you try, government lackeys coming round to intimidate you into leaving. Humanity never chose technology, it was a snowball effect. And now nobody can leave even if the will to was there because every other country who decides to forge on will enslave you.

>>11168981
>So you'd rather have everyone killing themselves out of sheer misery so long as you get your iphone and hot chocolate?
I'm just pointing out that as civilizations get more developed and advance socially and technologically, feelings of depression, loneliness, and anxiety seem to rise. You'll also find a correlation between success in secondary education and the lowering of child birth rates. It's just how it is.

>>11169084
>It's just how it is.
Because civilisation does more harm than good.

>>11169084
>as civilizations get more developed and advance socially and technologically, feelings of depression, loneliness, and anxiety seem to rise
That's why they destroy us every 2150 years and then reboot, to dispose of the weak and defective.

>>11167780
Incoherent post. The reason is because life is very rare. Alternatively, intelligent life is very rare.

>>11169100
>Almost no one killed himself in earlier civilizations
Proofs

>Because civilisation does more harm than good.
Bitch is civilization is that bad for you go live in the woods or contract a plethora of diseases like your ancestors did. That'll for sure make you and us happy :v

Oh just shut up already.

Jerk off already you stupid fuck.

Wouldn't it be nice if OP expressed their opinions as an argument rather than a statement? That way this thread might not be a complete waste of time.
t. faggot

>>11169318
I said it as a statement because I'm not trying to convince you of anything, I'm inviting you to prove me wrong. You don't need a formal invitation to argue against someones statement and you don't need a list of bullet points prepared to make your job easier.

But lets not pretend anymore, we all know you wanted to nitpick what I said to death because in your pathetic mind whoever gets bored of being interrogated by a pedantic, passive agressive worm is the loser.

>>11167780
no you fucking weeb, is just the universe is big, that's it, also a superior species will not give a fuck about us, we are like ants for them.

>>11170376
there is whole subdiscipline of zoology to study ants...

>>11170376
We are a fundamental part of their ecosystem? We are much more numerous than them? Our society is much more sustainable than theirs? Their females and kids find us scary?

>>11170400
but any individual ant colony shouldn't be surprised if we don't pay any attention to them specifically

>>11167780
If they don't tell you about millitary budget in main news, you think something like contact would be announced?

>>11170532
Yes. Papers don't print the budget because it doesn't sell copy. Alien bullshit sells like hot cakes.

>>11170551

>>11170553
"Picture describes last thing suspect having contact with aliens life form usually don't remember"

Once you accept the principle that entropy minimises locally to maximise globally then rna->DNA->complex life is demystified.

There's no "spark" or essence of life. The fact humans are more complex than protein folds isn't phenomenal.. It's inevitable that complexity rises locally to dissipate more heat and so max entropy globally.
