I saw a documentary that followed some real aliens, they had weird looking heads, sort of like traffic cones. They talked funny and slept standing up (more or less). The fact I saw this kind of nullifies all arguments to the contrary (not really IMO, as this isn't opinion at all, this is pretty much an established FACT)

Depends what you consider intelligence. Our innerspecial concept of intelligence may just be nothing more than another method of communication. Like maybe birds have their own intelligence, and things they regard as smart, savvy, logical, and their own way of qualifying those values. IQ is probably not by any means universal, and may be no more meaningful to anything else in the universe than a few bird chirps are to us.

When we do discover intelligent life in the universe, we should invade them lay eggs in their stomach and steal their resources

To be fair if it was real life I would bully you there too. I'd give you so many swirlies and steal your lunch money.

We are all living in the fraction of a moment occupying identical space as a baby's pointless crying in the middle of the night that two otherwise happy parents ignore. The end of our existence will mark absolutely nothing, and our sun will burn out long before the cosmic baby's single yell ends.

maybe not

like, google the quantum eraser experiment

basically, everything is just what it is, there is nothing more than what you see in front of you, unless you look to see what happened in the past

when you look into space you're looking into the past

so like, if you look into space with super detailed telescopes and learn and discover everything in the universe, you are really just "loading up" the required events that would have been necessary for the earth and life to form, given a given set of rules (the laws of quantum mechanics)

so there could have been originally nothing except for the earth, we really were the center of everything, until we looked out into the universe, then we revealed how big it would have to be in order to make our planet and life

it's kind like the monkeys typing shakespeare, you can have the full play, but when you look to see all the random junk that had to come to pass in order to get the play, there is like a nearly unfathomably huge amount of it

but then, i guess like, you'd ask, are there other plays in all that, and i guess the answer would be probably

so like... wait... what am i talking about?

You're the same guy who insinuated that aliens jumpstarted evolution 20-30,000 years ago and mentioned Dinosauroids. Gonna guess someone got to you in the meantime. :tinfoil:

Real posting in GBS: If we really want to bridge the gulf of not only space but also time that separates us from other intelligences, we need to accept that our artificial offspring are basically what carries our legacy out into the stars and into the eons. If we ever make first contact, it will be with another race that may be extinct biologically, but had the same idea.
